There are so many chemicals in our environment these days and it’s so scary. Through the last 12-15 years I have been very interested in my overall health and what is going into my body. I try to cook as often as possible and make healthy and clean choices. This DIY bug spray recipe is an extension of my pursuit in being healthier. I hate the thought of all of the harmful chemicals in our food and environment and if I can make small changes daily to keep them at bay I will do my best.
I am excited to share this DIY bug spray recipe, I recently received it from a follower of mine and I love it. My daughter gets bug bites like crazy. They just love her! She helps out in the garden and needs something to combat those “buggers” and I really don’t want her spraying more chemicals than she needs. I was happy to get this recipe and try it. So far it is working fantastic. The mosquitoes are staying their distance. And she is happy with the results. There are several essential oils in this recipe and it can add up. However the trade is knowing your skin is not absorbing more toxins and I absolutely love the scent. It doesn’t have that strong gagging smell. It’s actually quite pleasant.
I am sharing a printable version of this DIY bug spray recipe so you can keep it on file. It’s super easy, just mix all the ingredients in a spray bottle. Make sure to share with your friends and family and help them keep not only the mosquitoes away but also those pesky toxins!
