If you’re living the sunshine life here in Florida, you know that our tropical climate brings more than just pool days and palm trees—it also means bug season arrives earlier, hits harder, and stays longer. And those pesky bites? They’re more than just annoying. They can cause irritation, redness, and leave behind marks that mess with your glow-up goals.
The Sneakiest Offenders? No-See-Ums.
These nearly invisible little buggers pack a punch when they bite. They love our humid, coastal air, and whether you’re sipping sweet tea on the lanai or taking an evening stroll on the beach—if there’s a way in, they’ll find you.

🌺 Florida Girl Tip: Keep One in Every Bag
I like to be prepared! I stash a Bug Guard lotion in my beach tote, a Picaridin spray in my car, wipes in my purse for quick on-the-go touch-ups, and a Bath Oil Spray at home for post-shower moisturizing. These are safe for kids too—so whether you’re chasing toddlers at the splash pad or walking the dog after dinner, you can stay bite-free and beautiful.
