Just about the time people start spending more time outdoors, the insect population hits its peak. Fortunately, several new bug banishers are designed to make you as unappetizing to bugs as they are to you. Repello Protecto-Glo Insect Repelling Wristbands emit bug-deterring vapor while you run, bike or lie by the pool ($4 for a wristband that lasts 120 hours; 800-980-5678). Just wipe Repello No-Bites All Day Towelettes on skin to keep critters away for up to eight hours (six for $4; 800-980-5678). Origins Gardener’s Spray uses a blend of aromatic essential oils (citronella, eucalyptus, peppermint and geranium) to keep bugs at bay naturally ($12.50, 800-674-4467). Finally, for protection from insects and the sun’s burning rays, try Avon’s Skin-So-Soft Bug Guard Moisturizing Sunblock Spray ($9.95, 800-367-2866).
