Homemade Bug Spray Recipe

Rinse out an old Element Spray Bottle, or use any spray bottle.

  1. Mix 2 full droppers (about 1/2 tsp) Eucalyptus Oil
  2. 2 full droppers Lemongrass Oil
  3. 2 full droppers Citronella Oil
  4. few drops of Cinnamon Essential Oil!
  5. Mix with 1/2 cup water, and 1/4 cup witch hazel. We like to add a little bit of glycerin to give it holding power, but if you don't have any, then you can leave it out. 

Directions: Spray & rub on before going outside. Avoid the eyes, and spray on your hand and rub on your face.
