Storms Bring Bugs

Standing Water Attracts bugs.

Spring storms really bring out the bugs.  When the water is standing the mosquito's are bad.  How many of you really hate the smell of bug repellent?  I do for sure.  Try this DYI bug repellent.

Start by adding 1/4 cup of distilled water to a small spray bottle.

Measure and add two teaspoons of both witch hazel and vodka. These help disperse the essential oil in the water and also help the scent stay longer on your skin.

Add 25 drops of peppermint essential oil and shake to combine.

Shake the bottle well before each application. Spray homemade bug spray on any exposed skin before going outdoors. Reapply every 2 hours while you're outside.
