Dealing with Pesky Mosquitos

July 26, 2017 by Dianne

Two of the Edmonton gals ladies played with a couple of wonderful Goose Hummock ladies. They were complimenting Nancy on how nice she smelled. Turns out she makes her own mosquito repellent using essential oils. Thanks Nancy

 

2 tablespoons of one or a combination of the following: witch hazel or vodka
2 tablespoons of one or a combination of the following: grapeseed oil, jojoba oil, almond oil, or olive oil
½ teaspoon vodka as preservative (if not already using)
100-110 drops essential oils

Sample Bug-Repelling Essential Oil Blend:
55 drops lemon eucalyptus essential oil (reported by the CDC to be a good natural substitution for DEET in repelling insects, but not recommended for use on children under 3 yrs.)
add 15 drops cedarwood essential oil
15 drops lavender essential oil (if using, choose Lavandula angustifolia– “Lavender (40-42) essential oil” does not have the same insecticidal qualities)
15 drops rosemary essential oil
Directions:
Add carrier liquids to small spray bottle (3 or 4 oz. works well so there is room for shaking). Add essential oils. Shake well before each use. Natural bug repellent will need to be reapplied every few hours for maximum effectiveness.
Other Bug-Repelling Essential Oils:
citronella
eucalyptus
lemongrass
tea tree
peppermint
cypress
rose geranium
bergamot
lemon
