Bug Buttons
Evergreen Research has developed a button that it claims you can simply pin on to keep away mosquitoes, flies, gnats, and many other annoying insects.

Unlike traditional lotions and sprays that contain DEET and other harmful chemicals, the Bug Button is made with Phillipine geranium oil, Indonesian lemongrass oil, and North American Citronella oil. This non-toxic combination repels bugs without putting harmful chemicals on your body.

The Bug Button has a lemon fragrance that is pleasant to humans yet repels bugs. The Bug Button lasts up to 60 hours, is waterproof, ozone safe, and does not leave an oily mess.
