I use lemon balm only and make strong sun tea. Put it in aprayer ( after straining) I live in mosquito heaven and it works. The cayenne sounds scary. It would be way to easy to transfer from arm or hands to eyes.

I ❤ the mosquito bits.They kill fungus gnats on houseplants also. Directions are on the package. I use a nylon/pantyhose from dollar tree to put the bits in the water so I don't have to strain them out, just easier. Let it sit overnight and then I add some to my watering can when I do my houseplants. Now I have a natural, good smelling bug spray to use when outside. Thank you !

Use a lavender scented mist or lotion on you. It repels moths, fleas, flies. Add a little lavender essential oil to and unscented lotion and you are ready to go. I lave lavender plants all over my yard. This might not interest you but I add a few drops of EO to my rinse water in my carpet shampoo tank. Makes the house smell nice too.

You could have chopped those herbs down a bit, before adding to the blender. It's not the bulk that causes issues, but the length of the fibres.

Cinnamon is also a very good mosquito reppelent. I tried just dusting powder on myclothes and it worked fairly well. I decided to buy cinnamon oil and i was able to do my outdoor evening chores almost mosquito free. Ive tried so many natural skeeter sprays and boy oh boy they only seem to work for 20 min. But cinnamon oil worked the entire evening. 💃💃💃

The absolute best bug repellant is Nessmuck's bug dope. The recipe can be found over at the Gray Bearded Green Berett's channel. All you need is litterally a few drops and an 8oz batch will last you two or three years. It works for all bugs and is applied to your clothes, shoes or surrounding materials such as tent material, surrounding plants or strips of cloth hung about. Highly reccomend.

McCormick vanilla extract is best. Mosquito’s and gnats don’t like it. As a business owner I have lots of lake home customers and tell everyone about this so ppl can enjoy the outdoors either work around the house or have a beer by the fire.

How much and how to apply it? On the face too?

@BrianDWinfield 17 күн бұрын

@@TheQueensWish greetings! All you need is to apply the extract on your finger tip several times and apply on the back and in front of your neck, underneath your chin then forehead, tips of the ears and cheeks. If your arms and hands are exposed then apply there as well. Each finger tip application covers well. The vanilla scent will be around for bit but smells like grandma’s kitchen not DEET.

Yep…. I make something using Peppermint, lemongrass, and clove Bud essential oils…. I spray it on me and I get zero bites from mosquitos, flies, chiggers and those bloody gnats… it is also great to spray around the entrance to your tent if you like to go camping…. It keeps the spiders and other creep crawlies away!

@ambreewilliams6585 20 күн бұрын

I use a few drops of lemongrass EO in my spray hand sanitizer and I use that on my arms when I garden and I don't have any issues with mosquitos or any other biting bugs. It's not that expensive at all - the EOs don't have to be organic in order for them to work. And lemongrass has the same scent as citronella and works exactly the same. 👍🏾👍🏾

Would adding alchohol increase shelf life?

I don’t think the addition of alcohol will increase the shelf life because the evaporation of essential oils over time make it less effective as a repellent.

I would use 2C of Witch Hazel instead of 2C of more H20 in the soak overnight step. Because it contains alcohol which will help draw out more essential oils from the leaves pulp into the liquid. 🧓
