This DIY natural insect repellent will help you keep bugs and mozzies at bay with just essential oils and a few other ingredients.
Ingredients
- 30 drops geranium essential oil
- 30 drops citronella essential oil
- 20 drops lemon eucalyptus essential oil
- 20 drops lavender essential oil
- 10 drops rosemary essential oil
- 1 tbsp rubbing alcohol
- ½ cup natural witch hazel
- ½ cup water (or vinegar)
- Optional: 1 tsp vegetable glycerine to help everything stay combined
Method
- Place essential oils in a glass spray bottle. Add alcohol and shake well to combine.
