Insect Repellent
4 ounces (120ml) of water in a water spray bottle
5 drops of Eucalyptus essential oil
3 drops of Lemongrass essential oil
3 drops of Citronella essential oil
Mix the oils into the water and shake well then spray into the air.
This won't kill anything only repell it.
Make sure you don't spray onto food areas or into your eyes.

finaly, an insect repellent without any harmful ingredients
take care when using citronella as it can be harmful - it has been banned from most uk products.
for a repellant that will smell nasty to flies but lovely to humans and will be kind to the skin try adding small amoof teatree, mint and avacado oils
Can we spray it on our skin also? Is it soft enough for kids/baby
Smells and works great!
cooly
i tried this, i'm not sure if it worked but it made the air smell tasty :)
I live in South Africa and mix lemongrass oil, citronella oil and tea tree oil into my body lotions as well. Works extremely well. Not toxic. Citronella oil is the basis for all insect repellant products.
does this really work as i go camping lots, and nearly everything that i have tried only attracts them.
This is certainly not toxic
stupid and toxic
