Here’s a recipe for all of you heading into the great outdoors for the weekend: Natural Bug Spray. It helps ward off mosquitoes and biting flies so you can enjoy some fun, relaxing time in nature!

Just combine the essential oils and water in a spray bottle– that’s it!

Recipe:

  • 2-3 drops Lemon
  • 2-3 drops Eucalyptus
  • 2-3 drops Lemongrass
  • 2-3 drops Clove
  • 2-3 drops Lavender
  • 2-3 drops Basil
  • 2-3 drops Geranium

Add drops to an amber glass spray bottle. Add water to fill remainder of bottle. Don’t forget to attach a label to the bottle to keep everyone safe!

* Note that a glass spray bottle is best to use as essential oils can break down plastic over time. Use discretion in spraying on fabrics as some oils could change the color or damage fabric.
