🐜DIY BUG REPELLENT SPRAY🦟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s beginning to feel a lot warmer in NYC these days. With warmer weather comes more outdoor adventures, longer days, less clothes, and of course, the bugs and mosquitoes looking for their next victim to snack on.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s been a hassle trying to find bug spray that’s not only toxin free but also sustainable. For this reason, I decided to do some research and make my own bug spray! It’s working great for keeping away those pesky mosquitoes, ticks, and flies.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s the ratio I used:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1/4 cup of witch hazel⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1/4 cup of water⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
10 drops of Citronella, peppermint, lavender, eucalyptus essential oils⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5 drops of lemongrass & tea tree essential oils⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you made your own bug repellent before?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
