Shooo Spray - Homemade Bug Spray

 

Here's a recipe for homemade natural Bug Spray we just recently made... smells wonderful and seems to keep the pesky blood suckers away pretty well.

Thank you Crunchy Betty for the recipe....  I love love love your site...

 

• 1/8 c. apple cider vinegar
• 1/8 c. rubbing alcohol or (yes, I’m going there) vodka
• 1/8 c. distilled water
• 25 drops eucalyptus essential oil (1/4 tsp.)
• 25 drops citronella essential oil (1/4 tsp.)
• 50 drops peppermint essential oil (1/2 tsp.)
• Smallish spray bottle

Not a lot of directions here. Pour everything in your spray bottle and shake well. Shake well, again, before spritzing. This doesn’t need to be refrigerated, though it may feel good if you do. It should keep well for several months in a cool, dark place.
Notes: This isn’t just for kids. Go ahead. You can use it, too.   If you’re making this just for grown-ups or older kids, you can go a little heavier on all of the oils.

But this is VERY IMPORTANT: Eucalyptus oil, in particular, should not be swallowed. It’s known, in high quantities (and it would take quite a bit to cause major issues) to cause toxicity. If you get some, keep it out of the reach of your children.
