Mosquito season is coming… so I make this DIY bug spray every spring and summer. 🌿🦟 It’s simple, takes about 30 seconds to make, and we keep a bottle by the back door for all the outside time. Here’s the recipe I use: 2 oz witch hazel 2 oz distilled water 15 drops citronella essential oil 10 drops lavender essential oil 10 drops lemon eucalyptus essential oil 5–10 drops peppermint essential oil Add everything to a 4 oz glass spray bottle and shake well before each use. Spray on skin or clothing before heading outside. You can also add 1 tsp vegetable glycerin if you want it to stay on the skin a little longer. ✨Save this for spring and summer mosquito season 🌿 ✨Follow @happyhealingtx for more easy DIYs and healthy-ish swaps for busy moms. #diybugspray #bugspray #nontoxicbugspray #bugrepellent #nomoremosquitos
DIY BUG REPELLENT Shop the supplies in my bio Ingredients 1/2 cup vanilla extract 1/2 cup witch hazel (or distilled water) 1–2 tablespoons avocado oil (or any THIN oil. Almond, grapeseed, etc. Don’t use coconut or castor oil. ) 20–30 drops citronella essential oil Dark glass spray jar is recommended. Store at room temp out of direct sunlight. NOTE: if you have sensitive skin, do a spot test before applying all over, to make sure no irritation occurs.
1️⃣ Mosquito bites aren’t just annoying; they can disrupt sleep, irritate skin, and leave constant itching. Chemical sprays work, but many people prefer something gentler for daily use, especially indoors. That’s where plant-based oils come in. 2️⃣ Certain essential oils naturally repel insects because of their strong aromatic compounds. Tea Tree oil has antimicrobial properties and a sharp scent that mosquitoes dislike. Lemongrass contains citronellal, widely known for its insect-repelling effect. 3️⃣ Peppermint and Lavender add more than just fragrance. Peppermint has a strong menthol aroma that helps deter mosquitoes while giving a cooling feel. Lavender is calming for us — but unpleasant for many insects — and may help soothe skin if applied properly diluted. 4️⃣ When blended correctly, this combination creates a natural protective barrier. Many people notice: Fewer mosquito landings Less itching A fresher indoor environment A plant-based alternative to synthetic sprays 5️⃣ How to try it safely: Mix a 7-8 drops of Tea Tree, Peppermint, Lavender, and Lemongrass essential oils into distilled water with a natural emulsifier (or dilute in a carrier oil for skin use). Shake well before each use. ⚠️ Always dilute essential oils properly. ⚠️ Do not apply directly to skin without a carrier oil. ⚠️ Avoid contact with eyes and sensitive areas. ⚠️ Keep away from pets, especially cats. #mosquito #repellent #diy #naturalingredients #essentialoil

Homemade natural bug spray 🌼 - if your kids are getting attacked by mozzies like mine try this with just a few simple ingredients! The Base (Use this ratio for any size bottle) - 2 parts water – keeps the spray light and cooling, perfect for sensitive skin and warm climates. - 1 part witch hazel – helps the oils mix through evenly and adds a soothing, anti-inflammatory effect on the skin (especially helpful if you’ve already been bitten). - ¼ part castor oil – gives the spray staying power so it doesn’t just evaporate off the skin. It forms a light barrier that holds the essential oils in place longer, helping the scent — and the protection — last. Essential Oils (for every 3 parts of base) - Lavender – calms and soothes skin, but also has mild repellent properties. It’s gentle enough for kids and helps take the itch out of any bites that sneak through. -Citronella – the hero ingredient for repelling mozzies. Its strong lemony scent naturally deters them without needing synthetic chemicals. Eucalyptus – adds an extra layer of protection, especially effective against sandflies and midges. It also gives that clean, fresh scent that makes the spray feel uplifting rather than heavy. Combine your water, witch hazel, and castor oil in a spray bottle. Add the essential oils, shake and apply. #naturalrepellent #fromscratchliving #homemaker #lowtoxlife #australianhomestead #naturalliving #herbalremedy #mozzieseason #diyhomesteading #kidsafe #essentialoils #fromscratchhome
