Interesting Herb Facts

Mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers and no-see-ums are tough opponents, and you'll need tough solutions to beat them. But that doesn't mean risking your family's health by using poisons and chemical sprays!

Scientists are discovering that nature's own defenses - geranium oil, coconuts, lemon grass and mint - are actually more effective than chemicals. And you can use them without harming the environment, or killing the beneficial bugs that keep your garden blooming.

hmmm... No coconuts, but I think we have enough mint around here for the whole town!
