    Is Aeroguard ok when pg??

    I spent hours out gardening today and the flies were driving me insane. I'm out planting another gazillion plants and trees tomorrow so would love to spray myself so I'm not battling flies as well as everything else but I always worry about putting chemicals on my skin when I'm pregnant.

    Does anybody know if its ok?

    Hun pretty sure you need to steer clear of DEET products. There are quite a few natural ones out there that you could try instead. My gf lives in the NT and has recently realised she shouldn't be using it either. xoxo

    I've used aerogard to remove window tint plenty of times. While pregnant in the NT everytime I wanted to spray it on me I thought of that and just went for the long sleeved option instead!

    Its a bit scary what some of the things designed for humans can do. Thanks Tan and little mrs. I kept squirting myself with water last Sunday and that seemed to keep them away a bit. Fair bit cooler this weekend so not so bad.

    Mozzies dont like listerine, spray it around you. I used to coat my patio and chair in it before sitting out the back after the wet season in NT. Burning sandlewood is good too
