Do you also feel that this year bug situation is worse than usual? We are using mosquito and insect traps at home, we put mosquito nets on windows, and still here and there, they manage to find a way to come inside and give as a hard time. So far, the traps have turned out to be pretty effective but when you leave the house you also need protection. This is why a natural spray is a must. Especially if you want to avoid toxic chemicals.
We use it
on skin as well as on clothes. It’s best to spray your neck behind your ears,
wrists, and ankles; that is, areas where you can feel your pulse.
It should
also be noted that various perfumes, fruity (except citrus scents) shampoos and
lotions attract mosquitos and ticks so try to replace them with other scents,
such as lemon or lavender.
How to make
a homemade tick and mosquito repellent spray
You will
need:
-
spray
bottle
-
½
cup water
-
6
drops rose geranium essential oil
-
4
drops cedarwood essential oil
-
5
drops lemongrass essential oil
Instructions
Mix all the
ingredients together and pour in a spray bottle. Shake well before each use.
Safe to use
on skin and clothes.
Before you
leave your house, just shake the bottle and spray on your neck, wrists, and
ankles and you are good to go. You can spray on your clothes and shoes too for
extra protection.
If you want
to use it on your children, dilute the mixture by reducing the essential oil
drops in half.
