Now let’s tell you why these essential oils are so great for keeping insects away and how our Begone Bug product line got started.
The Begone Bug Bali Story
The story of the Begone Bug Bali line starts over 20 years ago. Back then, my town of Ubud was almost unrecognizable. There were no telephone poles and everything was rice fields as far as the eye could see. We lived in the middle of some of these rice paddies with only a dirt path leading to the main road.
One day, my dog, Sari, was bitten by a snake and there were no clinics nearby, so we just did our best to make her comfortable and hoped for the best. After a little while, we noticed a bunch of ants and bugs had started coming in to the room like vultures.
My mom wasn’t sure what to do at first, but she knew she had to do something. So she quickly went into our kitchen, the same kitchen in which Utama Spice was born, and made an essential oil blend to repel the bugs and at least keep Sari from suffering in that way.
She came out of the kitchen and made a circle around Sari with the essential blend and soon all the bugs vanished!
The best part was, Sari survived and lived a happy life for many more years.

After that, my mom knew she had made something special. So she created a seaweed base for the essential oil blend and the Begone Bug Bali Blend was born!
The Begone Bug Bali Ingredients
As with all natural products, the key to their success is in their ingredients. The Begone Bug Bali products are no different! As we said earlier, the Begone Bug Bali Blend contains:
Citronella Essential Oil
Citronella Essential Oil is one of the oldest and most popular natural insect repellents on the market. It is widely found in candles and even sprays, especially to keep mosquitos away. According to research found on the National Center for Biotechnology Information, “citronella, which contains citronellal, citronellol, geraniol, citral, α pinene, and limonene, is as effective dose for dose as DEET.” DEET is the main active ingredient in most chemical-based insect repellents and was originally made by the US Army as an insecticide.

As we mentioned in our post Avoiding Bugs AND Harsh Chemicals, “Some of the side effects that have been reported by those using DEET include:
- Memory loss
- Headaches
- Skin irritation
- Muscle weakness
- Nausea
- Seizures
- Joint pain
This is why it’s so important to find a natural product that works without scary side effects.”
Clove Essential Oil
Clove Essential Oil was found to be the longest lasting natural insect repellent in a study of 38 essential oils. According to the study by the Department of Medical Entomology of Mahidol University, “Clove oil gave the longest duration of 100% repellency [2-4 hours] against all three species of mosquito” that were tested. Some of the other ingredients that were found to be most effective in the study: “citronella [and] patchouli.”

Cajeput Essential Oil
Cajeput Essential Oil is made from a variety of melaleuca leaves and used to be known as white tea tree oil. According to Mind Body Mastered, “Cajeput oil has strong insecticidal properties that help to eliminate insects such as mosquitoes and ants.” Studies have shown that cajeput essential oil “killed mosquitoes on contact” and termites that ate a filter paper soaked in cajeput essential oil “died within 24 hours” and the paper “maintained its effectiveness for at least three months after the cajeput oil was initially applied.”
