How to Make a Natural Bug Spray

If you have sensitive skin, or just don't like the chemical sprays you get at the store. Check this out. I found a couple of mixtures you should try.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 1 oz spearmint, peppermint, citronella or pennyroyal oil
• and baby oil, vegetable oil, or petroluem jelly
• Or just a cucumber

1. To keep mosquitoes away, try a Cucumber Cube. First peel and puree the cucumber. Then strain the liquid into an ice cube tray and freeze. When you're ready to go out, rub the Cucumber Cubes on your face and hand.
2. Another mixture to keep bugs away is an oil rub/lotion. you will need 1 oz of herbal oil. Either spearmint, peppermint, citronella, or pennyroyal. Then just mix a few drops of either baby oil, vegetable oil, or a bit of petroleum jelly. Mix together and apply to skin when ready to go out.
3. (Sorry I do not have a third tip yet. When I find one I will add it)
