Prepare the Bottle:
Take your small spray bottle and add 1 tablespoon of witch hazel. Witch hazel helps the oils mix better and serves as a mild astringent, adding to the repellent’s effectiveness.
Add Essential Oils:
Add 10 drops each of lavender, eucalyptus, and peppermint essential oils. These oils are known for their ability to repel insects, especially mosquitoes and flies.
Add Water:
Pour in 2 tablespoons of distilled water to dilute the mixture and make it sprayable.
Shake and Spray:
Close the bottle tightly and shake it well to mix all the ingredients together. Your natural repellent is now ready to use! Simply spray it around areas where you want to keep bugs away—on your skin (avoid eyes and mouth), clothes, and outdoor spaces.
