How to make a DIY mosquito, fly and bug repellent
To make the spray, follow these directions:
- Mix equal parts of the four thieves herbal infusion and witch hazel
- Pour the witch hazel and the tea in a spray bottle and add the top before shaking it gently
- Use 10 to 15 drops of essential oils of the prementioned herbs (if you use dry herbs skip this part)
If you want to use fresh herbs, it’s okay, but make sure to use three times the quantity of dried herbs because the dried ones are more concentrated due to the fact that water in them is completely gone (this makes them stronger than fresh herbs actually).
To use the DIY repellent, spray it all over you before going outside. This way, flies, mosquitos, gnats, and other flying insects won’t come anywhere near you. The repellent is safe to use and it does not have any side effects simply because t doesn’t have any harmful chemicals.
