"Don't let the bed bugs bite," my Dad would say to me as he tucked me into bed each night. Now days we really mean it! Thanksgiving is upon us and that means travel. Lots of it! A time for gathering with friends and family for the sake of giving thanks for what we have. This year, we have many things to deal with on that journey but one thing we don't want to deal with is BED BUGS. They're everywhere but especially on the eastern coast of the United States. We sure don't want to bring them home with us.

All About Tranquility reminds you to use our "Stop Bugging Me" aroma spray against those bed bugs. This spray, created in the early spring (2010) for the large population of mosquitoes, is also effective for the fight against bed bugs. "Stop Bugging Me" contains such essential oils as citronella, catnip, cedarwood, lemon scented eucalyptus, peppermint and clove bud, all effective insect repellents. These little bugs aren't fussy; they will hitch a ride on or in anything until they find a new source of food. Use the spray on your purses, briefcases, backpacks and luggage before traveling. Don't forget to pack it so you can have it with you. Once you arrive at your destination, use it on your mattress and keep your luggage on racks rather than the floor. Repeat the process before your return trip home, leaving those bugs where you found them.

We'd like to wish you a happy, safe journey wherever you may go and Happy Thanksgiving to each and everyone of you. Remember, "Don't let the bed bugs bite!"
