Homemade bug repellent is free of harmful chemicals and is safe for children and pets.
This can also be a fun summer science project with your children and they will be learning more about how important plants are in our environment.
Here are 2 recipes for bug repellent:
Mix in 1 cup of water and shake in a spray bottle
Mix with 1 cup distilled water into a spray bottle
You can also mix these blends with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and spread on to your skin. Will last about 4 hours while outside. It is however not waterproof so it you get wet or sweat you will need to reapply.
Repellent blend is another ready to use option to help fight away those nasty bugs, so you can enjoy the outdoors. This blend will also prevent deer ticks as well, which carries Lyme Disease.
ü Lemon Eucalyptus

And it already has the fractionated coconut oil mixed in as well
