How to Use Essential Oils as Bug Spray.

🦟 🦟 🦟

With the mosquito season well underway, it can be tempting to buy mosquito repellants to protect yourself from mosquito bites. But these commercial products contain toxic chemicals that can do more harm than good to your health and the environment.

To ward off mosquitoes without getting exposed to chemicals, try one of the following recipes to make your own mosquito repellant. Each of these recipes include essential oils that are commonly used in aromatherapy. On top making your home smell fragrant, these oils also keep mosquitoes away. (h/t to TheHomesteadingHippy.com)

How to make your own mosquito repellants with essential oils

These DIY mosquito repellants take the form of topical blends or sprays.

Lemon eucalyptus oil blend

Lemon eucalyptus oil contains trace amounts of citronellal and p-Menthane-3,8-diol, both of which are very good at repelling mosquitoes.

Ingredients:

10 milliliters (mL) lemon eucalyptus oil, or 2 teaspoons
90 mL carrier oil, such as jojoba oil or sweet almond oil
A 100 mL lidded jar or bottle
Pour both oils into the jar and put the lid on. Shake gently or use a spoon to mix the oils. For extra pleasant smell, you can add a few drops of fresh lemon, orange or lime juice. Apply the mixture to any exposed part of your body.

Citronella oil spray

Citronella oil is obtained from the leaves and stem of different lemongrass species. Along with lemon eucalyptus oil, citronella is one of the most effective natural insect repellants. It contains geraniol, citral, citronellal and limonene, all of which fend off mosquitoes.

Ingredients:

10 drops citronella oil
10 mL alcohol or vodka
90 mL water
Spray bottle
Mix the alcohol and water in the spray bottle and then add the citronella oil. Mix thoroughly and squeeze citrus fruits if you like. Spray onto exposed skin two or thrice a day.

Lavender and vanilla spray

Known for its relaxing properties, lavender oil is also a terrific mosquito repellant, thanks to its many anti-mosquito compounds. It contains eucalyptol, linalool, limonene and camphor, all of which keep bugs away. Similarly, vanilla also repels mosquitoes and has a pleasant smell to boot.

Ingredients:

12 drops lavender oil or fresh lavender flowers
4 tablespoons vanilla extract
4 tablespoons lemon juice
500 mL water
Spray bottle
Mix the lavender oil, vanilla and lemon juice in a bowl and then add the water. Transfer the mixture into the spray bottle and shake the mixture well before each use. Spray the mixture on all exposed areas of the skin. (Related: 7 Proven uses of lavender essential oil.)

Neem and coconut oil spray

Neem oil has a very potent odor that makes mosquitoes go away and becomes even more potent when combined with coconut oil. And on top of driving away insects, studies show that neem oil also kills mosquito eggs.

Ingredients:

10 drops neem oil
30 mL coconut oil
50 mL vodka
250 mL hot water
Spray bottle
Mix both oils in a bowl and then add the vodka. Mix well and then pour the hot water into the mixture. Make sure that you use boiling water to properly mix the oil and alcohol. Allow the mixture to cool off before transferring the mixture into the spray bottle. Shake the bottle before every use and spray onto exposed skin. Reapply as often as needed.

Cinnamon oil spray

Cinnamon products can be used in various ways to repel mosquitoes. For example, cinnamon sticks that are boiled in hot water can be transferred into ornamental bowls to be placed on the table. The following recipe, however, takes a simpler approach:

Ingredients:

2 teaspoons cinnamon oil or extract
60 mL water
Spray bottle
Combine the cinnamon extract and water in the bottle and shake thoroughly. Spray the mixture onto your skin as often as needed.

Essential oils like lemon eucalyptus and neem oil ward off mosquitoes without causing harm to your health and the environment. Make your own mosquito repellants by following one of the recipes listed here to protect yourself and your family from pesky insects this mosquito season.

SIMPLE SWAPS TO DETOX YOUR HOME

One simple tip to detox your home that you need to do right now!

Did you know that candles can be toxic? Candles are often one of the most toxic things we unknowingly have in our homes. When candles are burned, they release carcinogenic toxins (benzene, toluene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein and) most recognizable, soot into the air. The emissions from paraffin candles contain many of the same toxins produced by burning diesel fuel. Yuck! Who knew? And I had been burning candles my whole life! 🤔🤮

Synthetic fragrances can cause symptoms such as problems concentrating, coughing, sneezing, congestion, headaches, migraines, hormone imbalances etc. The more synthetic fragrance you cut out of your life, the better. 😍

Don't worry, you can start to make the switch to a healthier home right now. You can still use up your supply of candles but I highly encourage you to do this one simple swap right now. Get started and invest in your health, your kids health and that of your entire family. I love to burn candles too and still do on occasion but now I have incorporated diffusers into my home and use essential oils. 💧💧💧

I have them in my bathroom, kitchen and bedroom. Now, my entire house smells like a spa! Ahhh! 🌷🌿

Start replacing your candles with essential oil diffusers and essential oils. I personally love doTERRA essential oils and they have some amazing starter packs to get you started and you the best thing is they are 100 percent pure and 100 percent all natural, nothing added, no fillers, no synthetic crap! All it takes is water and a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Mmmm, think lavender and lemon or one of my favorites peppermint and citrus for a quick pick me up. Start having fun making different blends to help your boost your mood, increase your focus or reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. 💚💧💚

Invest in your health and that of your family by making this one simple switch. You got this!
