Ok so I know this is not a food recipe (please don’t try to eat this 😉) but don’t worry more recipes coming shortly. I’m preparing this week for our first camping trip of the season and with the new season, I needed to make new bug spray and thought I would share! This year I also made rollerball ones for myself and my friends.
I’ve recently gotten into trying different essential oils and I have really been enjoying Plant Therapy. They have all been great oils and the shipping has always been pretty fast.
So here is my go-to homemade bug spray –
- 1 4 oz. spray bottle
- 50 drops lemongrass
- 50 drops citronella
- 50 drops eucalyptus
- 10 drops clove
I usually do like 1/3 recipe, swirl around, sniff and decide if I want more of one of the scents. Also you can add a little lavender if you like. I usually keep adding proportional until there is about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch of oils in the bottom.
Next add water you would drink (distilled, filter, water that has been boiled and cooled) and add the top. Shake and spray!
I would love feedback! If you have tried this recipe, please rate below and/or comment!
