Homemade Mosquito Bug Spray Instructions. — How to Make Bug Spray for Pesky Mosquitoes.

Quick and Easy Mosquito Spray

Typically I am not the one to attract mosquitoes but this year they are loving me. So here is a quick and easy mosquito spray recipe ya'll can make in no time.

Mosquito Spray Recipe

Get one of your spray bottles and add the following ingredients:

1/2 cup water (I used from the refrigerator)
1/2 cup Witch Hazel
1 Tablespoon Isopropyl Alcohol (Rubbing Alcohol)
10 drops Rosemary Essential Oil
10 drops Lemon Essential Oil
10 drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil
25 drops Lavender Essential Oil
25 drops Geranium Essential Oil
30 drops Citronella Essential Oil

Directions

Add the water and witch hazel then shake. Add in the essential oils then shake again to mix all ingredients.

How to Use Mosquito Spray

To use shake well then spray. Use your hands to spread evenly over your skin.

If you use sunscreen, apply that prior to the bug spray.

If you apply to the face, spray into your hands first then wipe on face. Avoid contact with eyes and mouth.

Performing a Patch Test and a Few Safety Tips.

If you are new or not sure how a blend or essential oil may react on your skin, it is always recommended to do a patch test prior to use. To do this, mix 2 drops essential oil to about 1/2 teaspoon carrier oil then apply to a patch of skin such as the forearm. Observe that area over the next 1 to 2 hours for any noticeable reaction; this will usually occur within 5-10 minutes. If you experience any irritation or discomfort either stop using or adjust the amount of essential oils you've used.

If you have not used a carrier oil before, you can also perform a patch test to the inner arm area.

Prior to using essential oils, always check the label for appropriate usage and do not apply essential oil to sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and mucous membranes. If you have a medical condition and/or you are taking medications, consult your physician prior to use.
