The Best Bug Sprays, Tested and Reviewed
Arrêtez toutes sortes de bestioles effrayantes avec ces 8 sprays anti-insectes.
Insect bites are unpleasant and can have serious health ramifications.

Bug repellents prevent both bites from insects and any diseases they may carry. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it’s safe for pregnant people to use bug sprays that have been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as long as the insect repellents are used as directed. If you’re pregnant, talk to your doctor about using bug spray before dousing yourself in it—even if it’s something more natural, like lemon eucalyptus oil.
