Hi new friend! ☺️ Yes!! It is SO easy and it works so well! Let me know if you do try it!!

Yay! So glad you found this helpful! 😊 I’m in KY as well and the mosquitoes are RIDICULOUS 😳 My poor baby went outside last week for 5 minutes without this spray and he was instantly eaten up. When he does have it on, they leave him alone! 🙌🏻

Omg yessss they are! We usually get eaten up but this stuff kept us safe all afternoon! 🙌🏻

I’m so happy it worked well for you! Thanks for trying it out! 😊

Girl yes!!! Let me know if you try it! Also, I’m pretty close to you! I live in KY, about an hour from Nashville! 😁

Thank you! ❤️ Yes girl! And it works SO well!

Thank you so much for watching! I have done this to test it out and determined that it wasn’t as potent as it is when it is fresh, so I would say it is probably best to make a fresh batch next summer when you’re ready to use it again!

Let me know when you do!! ❤️

Awwww thank you so much! 🥺🥰

Thank you for watching!!! 😊 I hope it works for you! Honestly, the batch that I make and that I shared in the video is so small that it lasted only a couple weeks in our house. I probably would just make a new batch after about 3 months, but that’s just my opinion!

Hi Erna! Thanks so much for watching!! Typically when using a diffuser, you would still need water, but you would exclude the witch hazel. Just fill your diffuser with water, then add approximately 2 or 3 drops each of your essential oils! 😊

For freshness, I would probably make it up to two weeks in advance, but I haven’t had any issues using it months after making it, so it is completely up to you! 😊

You could definitely add lavender. I wouldn’t use it by itself for the purpose of repelling mosquitoes though.

Thanks so much for watching, Brittany! I hope this spray worked for you!! I’ve used it again several times this year and it’s worked great for us! ❤️

Hi Gladys! I don’t see why you couldn’t! 🙂 I would probably lay just be careful to not spray too closely as to not cause water stains! Let me know how it works for you!

Yes, that is all!

Don't use eucalyptus or tea tree as it's harmful to pets

Hi Bea! The second ingredient I used is witch hazel, which is an astringent used as a carrier to the skin. If you can’t find it, you could use high proof vodka instead! Vodka would also help with the sting and/or itchiness if you do happen to get an insect bite! Best of luck and thanks for watching!

thats because it needs an emulsifier to bind the water and oil together, and where you live the spray needs to be stronger, and add tea tree oil and rosemery and lavender oil

@@lorenas6718 I used all the items mentioned excluding Rosemary for a 120ml Spray Bottle, these ingredients where: 1) Glycerine (binder or the emulsifier) 1 table spoon 2) Citronella oil 15 drops 3) Lavender oil 10 drops 4) Tee Tree oil 15 drops 5) Oil of Oregano 15 drops 6) Lemon Grass oil 30 drops 7) Lemon Eucalyptus oil15 drops 8) Witch Hazel (50ml) 9) Distilled Water (50ml) Where did I go wrong? I'm back in the UK now, but your advice would be very much appreciated for the future.

@@duanespence8628 I would omit the water honestly...witch hazel all the way. Don't know about the emulsifier if needed if you just roll it or mix it as she says before using. Also i'd look into how pure your essential oils are, plus bump up the drops. Hope any of this helps. I'm making this before our summer trip this week.

@@duanespence8628 Thanks for the binder tip :)

@@StephHKahle will you share your experience? Lol, I know it's been a cool minute, but if possible- inquiring minds wanna know☺

It is a 4 ounce bottle! I will update the description box with a link to them if you’d like to check it out! Thank you so much for watching!

I don’t think it would ruin it. Thanks for watching!

can you tell me what the emulsifier you recommend?

Vegetable Glycerin is what I've seen used

@@BMAAT1 Question... how much veg glycerine would you use for this recipe and would it leave oily stains on clothes at all? Thank you!

That’s great! I prefer to use Amber glass bottles because some essential oils are light sensitive. The Amber helps to shield the oils from the light.

You can spray it on yourself! Although it seems like it could also be sprayed on your surroundings. You could definitely try it out and see how it works!

Can i use rubbing alcohol if i dont have witch hazel

Thank you for watching!!
