I don’t know where you live, but since the start of June, the mesquitos of Wisconsin have been out to get me! Where did I wrong them?
Most of the common bug sprays are not safe for children and pets, and are in no way at all composed of natural ingredients. I decided it was just another product I could easily make at home. Check my post here for my DIY Laundry soap….life changing!
So quick and simple, here it is:
For a 12 oz. spray bottle, pour in 6oz. distilled water.
Add 5 oz. with witch hazel. (I like to use Thayers Aloe Vera blend)
Add in 10 drops tea tree oil, 10 drops lavender oil, 10 drops eucalyptus oil, and 10 drops clove oil.
Give it a shake, spray and you’re set for the outdoors!
I did run out of clove oil, so I steeped a ‘tea’ of 1 cup distilled water with 2 Tablespoons of whole cloves, and 1 Tablespoon of dried peppermint. This solution would replace the water and clove oil. It smells great too!
