How do you pick a plant for a bug spray when it varies depending on where you live and what bugs you’re dealing with? You will want to have a general idea of what bugs are in your area because different bugs are repelled by different plants.

Our world today is not without life’s stressors. While we may not be foraging to find our food or worried about a bear attack out in the wilderness, we still have scenarios that put us into fight, flight, or flee responses.
