In a spray bottle, add 1 cup of water.
Add 10-15 drops of your chosen essential oil (eucalyptus, citronella, lavender, or peppermint are all great options for repelling insects).
Pour in 1 tablespoon of witch hazel or rubbing alcohol to help blend the oils with the water.
Optionally, add 1 tablespoon of glycerin to help moisturize and protect your skin when applying the repellent.
Shake the bottle well before use.
Spray the mixture around windows, doorways, and any other areas where insects tend to enter.
