Effective Bug Repellent

I'm going to share how to make an an all natural and effective bug repellent spray with just a few simple ingredients.

I am outside a lot during the summer, and the bugs always seem to find me. Whether I'm gardening in the afternoon, taking the dogs for a walk at the forest preserve, or outside in the evening, the gnats, mosquitos, and horse flies always find me.

It's awful!

When I use this bug repellent, the bugs stay away! Now I always spritz some on me before heading outdoors. I especially pay attention to my head, neck, and shoulders, and then I do a quick spray on my body, and then spray a little extra around my ankles and feet.

Give it a try! You will love it.

This recipe is so easy to make and takes only a couple of minutes.

I've added several different essential oils which have proved to be very effective. If you don't have essential oils in your home, you can purchase this Effective Bug Repellent spray in our shop (we are adding it to our shop soon!)
