Natural Bug Repellent Using Essential Oils
We do a lot of rough and tough outdoors activities in our family from hiking and camping to fishing and water sports.
Truthfully we spend most of our time outdoors and we love it. You know what we don’t love? All the bugs and bug bites! Of course we have many oils to help soothe bug bites naturally, but it can really put a damper on an evening fishing trip.
So we really prefer to cut that off at the pass!
This is the recipe that we use in our family to repel tough bugs!
It is safe for our small kids and works under the muckiest conditions.
Even fishing on lakes at dusk and dawn!
40 drops TerraShield
40 drops Eucalyptus
40 drops Lemongrass
20 drops Lemon Eucalyptus
20 drops Citronella
add 1/4 Witch Hazel
Top w/H2O 4oz glass spray bottle
You can also use one of the fine mist spray bottles!
For dogs I like to spray this on a neckerchief.
Use the version of this recipe without Tea Tree for dog applications.
**for black flies add 20 drops of tea tree oil!
