Nantucket Spider of Wilton, CT
Nantucket Spider was created by friends Nancy Jack and Jeffrey Busch when Nancy, an environmental lawyer, used mainstream bug spray while on a job site - only to find that it dissolved her nylons! Seeking an effective, natural alternative to these chemical filled bug repellents, Nantucket Spider was born. From blends of natural ingredients, Nantucket Spider offers bug sprays for the whole family (including your four legged loved ones) to keep mosquitoes, biting flies, and ticks at bay.
