BUG-GER Off

The BUG-GER Off range of products was developed in the wildlife reserves of the South African Lowveld where effective insect repellents are essential. Formulated by professional chemists and produced by a renowned pharmaceutical company, BUG-GER Off answers the need for an EFFECTIVE NATURAL way of repelling insects.
Its Essential Oils, Lanoline and Shea Butter make it completely safe to use on sensitive skin and young children. The essential oils used are citronella, lemon eucalyptus, geranium and lemon grass. These in themselves are effective insect repellents, a combination of which is used in all out products. However the main active ingredient used in all the products is oil extracted from the khaki weed called TAGETES OIL. Together they are a formidable deterrent.

ORIGIN OF TAGETES OIL:

-Known in South Africa as 'Khaki bush', it is now also grown in France and North America.
-A weed with deeply divided deep-green feathery leaves and numerous yellowish-orange carnation-like flowers.
-The leaves and flowers are a good insect repellent and are often seen hanging from native huts to deter swarms of flies and mosquitoes.
