Insect Repellent

Bug sprays are always needed. If you find a cockroach in your house, there is nothing more satisfying than spraying that thing dead. The last thing on your mind is the amount of chemicals you’re inhaling.

However, these sprays are designed to suffocate and kill insects. That means they probably aren’t healthy for humans either. The fatty acids in coconut oil actually repel the insects. In addition, coconut oil on your skin will reduce your chances of getting mosquito bites.
