Welcome to Grammy's Old Thyme, where things are as simple and natural as possible.
Grammy creates bug repellent products using carefully selected blends of vegan ingredients intended to make your life a little easier.
Her first recipe is the Bite'N Bug Banisher (keep scrollin' for ingredients and reviews). It's a spray that's not oily or greasy, it contains no added fragrances or dyes, plus it boasts natural components which have been researched to repel mosquitos, gnats, no-see-ums, ticks, spiders, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, bees, horseflies, and yes, even yellow flies.*
*Deer flies not included
What makes Grammy's goods different? Grammy only uses food grade, pet friendly vegan elements, and she does this for a few good reasons:
1. You should be able to apply bug repellent pretty much anywhere, including on your face, your clothes, and your table.
2. You should be able to apply bug repellent on anyone, including your pets and small children.
3. You shouldn't have to feel like you need to wipe or wash off bug repellent.
That said, Grammy's commodities are not for eatin' or drinkin' by anyone, particularly your fur covered friends although a little lickin' should be just fine. You also might want to spot test any new product, even one as sensible as Grammy's, on a small patch of skin, or any fabric you're worried about, before liberally spraying every which way. Even though Grammy's wholesome remedies are made under her strict sanitized conditions, the FDA does not supervise the production of her recipes for consumption so please do stick to external use only.
Currently, Grammy's Old Thyme products can be purchased on Etsy or eBay.
You can also see what Grammy's up to, including future plans, on FaceBook, Instagram, and TikTok. Thanks for stoppin' by. Feel free to use the contact form below to drop Grammy a line or to ask a question. She'd love to hear from you.
If you came here lookin' for a Bite'N Bug Banisher bug spray ingredient list, you found it. Grammy is graciously providing two lists for two different types of people. This first list is just your basic, down 'n dirty information. The second list is your nitty gritty I-want-it-all particulars. You'll want to put on your reading glasses for that one.
