Spring brings Bugs - Homemade bug spray

 


Homemade bug spray is essential to repelling unwanted fly bugs and cridders you don't want living in your home or garden during the nice weather. Here is my recipe: 

Buy a spray bottle or two

Add in 1 ounce apple cider vinegar

1 ounce water

15 drops of eucalyptus oil

15 drops rosemary essential oil

15 drops tea tree essential oil 

15 drops thyme essential oil 

15 drops cedarwood essential oil  

8 drops of Peppermint essential oil 

8 Drops Lavender essential oil 

Mix all the above together and put into spray bottle. Bugs hate the oils listed and will stay away due to the smells combined. 

If you've  never purchased essential oils feel free to go to Swansons they have the best prices.
