You can DIY your own insect repellent!
If you need insect repellent, here is a great DIY insect repellent! Mosquitos love me and I hate them! So, I never go outside without an insect spray on and I use my own natural, homemade bug spray. I show you how easy and simple it is to make in less than 5 minutes. Say good-bye to mosquitoes!

I just saw your video two days ago, made the exact bug spray recipe. Today went to a family reunion, applied bug spray & had no problem with bugs for over 7 hours.

I made some last year with listening,water, EO=lemon, lemon grass, tea tree, eucalyptus, citronella, peppermint. Will use your suggestion & add lavender to my mix this year. I was out yesterday & the mosquitoes had me on the menu, so I pulled out my mix & sprayed on me & around where I was sitting. No more problems.

It should be in an amber colored glass spray bottle. NEVER in plastic because EOs react with plastic. For anyone who's never tried this, be sure to spray a test spot to make sure you're not sensitive/allergic to any of these oils. Almost any one of these oils alone will repel mosquitoes. You can also use undiluted organic apple cider vinegar in a sprayer and get the same results. We use a 50/50 water/apple cider vinegar spray for our dogs. They also get homemade apple cider vinegar in their water, up to 1 tbs per gallon to repel ticks and fleas. Do lots of research and educate yourself on EOs because they are very potent concentrates. Do you know the difference between top notes, middle notes and base notes? If not, find out before you make a solution you know little to nothing about. Best wishes to you all and may we win the daily battle of the bugs!

But thanks. I will try this. Will it get rid of Cock roaches ? I got them from a diy thing online. That's why I'm scared of these things. Please let me know. Thank you
