"You know many people don't like using any type of insect repellent that contains DEET or any other harsh chemicals. Hi, I am Captain Joe Bruni and what I'm going to talk about is how to naturally make a natural bug repellent. Using various types of oils. The first type of oil is tea tree oil that we want to use. Six drops of tea tree oil placed into a bottle along with two drops of almond oil and twelve drops of eucalyptus oil. Shake well when those oils are mixed we would then add about four drops of peppermint oil and a capsule of vitamin E. Once they are all placed in the bottle. Shake well each time before using and it's a great rub on natural bug repellent that doesn't contain and harsh chemicals or DEET. That many of us would be concerned about placing up against our skin. When it comes to repelling insects such as mosquitoes, chiggers, mites, fleas or any other type of pest. Natural bug repellent oil. I am Captain Joe Bruni. Stay safe and we'll see you next time."
