Don't Use Pesticides, Insect Repellents, or Mothballs
Why not? Because they are designed to attack living cells. What can kill organisms composed of compounds similar to what we are composed of can harm us.
For all these conventional products, there are healthier alternatives. You can learn about healthier alternatives in many places on the Internet, such as at www.grassrootsinfo.org. Or, do a search for what you are looking for, adding on search words that might bring you to your goal. For example, you might search for the following:
"pesticides + organic"
"pesticides + least toxic"
"natural insect repellent"
"DEET + alternative"
My friend's little dog will soon get a drop of some pesticide on the back of her neck for protection against fleas and ticks. Though I tried to tell my friend about an alternative, my friend believes the vet, that this pesticide is the best way to go. I feel badly for the little dog.
