Protect your Pets from biting bugs
The bugs are already starting to come out this spring. So how do you protect your loving pets from biting bugs? Little gnats, biting flies, mosquitos and ticks?
Thankfully we don’t have to deal with the ticks but the gnats and mosquitos are a huge problem where we live.
Protect them with Skin So Soft
Avon’s Skin-So-Soft has multiple uses and one of those happens to be protecting your pets against biting bugs.
This is our beloved dog Belle. She passed away in the summer of 2021 and was loved so much. She loved going to the beach, the park and the lakes (where the mosquitos are at their worst).
She was my inspiration for this blog post years ago on how to protect your pets from biting bugs. I am now updating this post.
Although Belle is no longer with us, we still have our dog Zoey.
Zoey absolutely hates baths and sprays but we still do both to keep her coat shiny and smelling good.

We like to keep those bugs away with Avon’s Skin-so-Soft and water. It leaves her coat shiny and she smells good too.
Some folks like to just spray the Skin-So-Soft directly on to their pets without diluting it first. It’s up to you.
To dilute simply get a spray bottle and add 1/2 Avon Skin-So-Soft and 1/2 water to the bottle.

Keep Biting Bugs Off Horses
We don’t have any horses, but I know people who do. I grew up in Montana and was around horses quite often.
They always had flies biting them and mosquitos bothering them.
This is the formula that was shared with me for those who have horses and/or mules.
For this formula you will need to get some cider vinegar.
Combine a 1/3 cup of Avon’s Skin-So-Soft, 1/3 cup of cider vinegar and 1/3 cup water. Place it in a spray bottle.
Protect Your Family from Biting Bugs
Don’t forget to protect yourself and your family from those nasty biting bugs with Bug Guard.
A lot of people swear by using Avon’s Skin-So-Soft to protect themselves against mosquitos, but it doesn’t work for other bugs; like, gnats.
Consumer Report did a study and found that it only protects against deer ticks for a couple of hours and only a couple of types of mosquitos.
Read my post on Avon Skin-So-Soft versusAvon Bug Guard.
Our family spends a lot of time outdoors. Fishing, hiking, biking, going to the lakes, rivers and to the park. Let’s not forget those outdoor BBQ’s.
Bug Guard is a must for our family; kids, grandkids and pets. Strong and dependable repellency against mosquitoes, deer ticks, gnats, no-seeums, sand flies and biting midges with up to 8 hours of protection.
Avon bug guard is an EPA registered insect repellent that has been around since 1999. It’s deet free and has a variety of formulas.
It has been proven to be as effective as S.C. Johnson’s OFF!! Which contains DEET and without the nasty smell.
Which Avon Bug Guard to use
If you will be outdoors during dusk or dawn and in areas where mosquitos and insects are most active SSS bug guard plus Picaridin would be the best choice.
Out and about during the day when sun protection and insect protection is both needed then one of the SSS Bug Guard plus IR3535 formulas would be best.
Either of these products come in an aerosol spray, pump spray or lotion.
