Product: Beck's Bug Blast - For People & Dogs Posted By: Keith |
| Beck's Bug Blast is amazing. It doesn't smell like (or contain) poison, feels light, and works. I've used it in the backwoods of NH, and am bringing 3 bottles to Puerto Rico this spring. Deters bugs without turning my skin into a toxic waste dump - love it! |

Works great!

Best natural bug spray out there!
This stuff really works. I use it on runs, on walks in the woods, gardening, etc. And it smells amazing, unlike a lot of other natural bug sprays. I also love that I'm not putting toxic chemicals on my kids. I definitely recommend it!

Wonderful scent, highly effective
We have a dog who cannot tolerate typical flea/tick treatments as they cause seizures. This bug blast not only keeps him free of these pests but has a pleasant smell. Also works great for people!

Great!
My dog has not had a single flea since I started using this on her in August of 2015. Even one flea causes major irritation and discomfort for her. Despite regular bathing and other supposed natural products, nothing worked. Every night I would use a flea comb on her and I would find from 1-3 fleas. The day before I received this product. I gave her a bath, using Dawn dish soap and white vinegar. That night I found two fleas on her. I will also mention that we maintain a clean and tidy house. I believe that she was picking up the fleas on our daily walks in the park. I applied the product before our next walk, and she has not had a single flea since. Her skin completely cleared up within a few days. I didn't even end up using the Plantain Salve that I also purchased, because this product has a soothing effect as well. This is a great product!
