I recently went on a camping trip and this came in very handy. As I was going over the list of things to bring, I noticed I didn't have any bug spray. Living in FL I knew it was an absolute must. I wasn't going to slather or spray some smelly toxic chemical on my body. I did what I do best! I went on La La Land to get some ideas.
Reading is FUNdamental. While browsing I found some interesting articles on mosquitoes. Fun Facts:
-There are several different types of mosquitoes (in the thousands)
-Male mosquitoes don't bite they feed on flower nectar
-Female mosquitoes bite humans and animals they need the protein for their eggs
-If you're a beer drinker consider yourself a new BFF
-These 'lil creatures are the deadliest animals on earth because they carry a number of deadly diseases
What you will need:
-Spray bottle
-Water
Witch Hazel
Essential Oils (lemon, eucalyptus, and rosemary)
-Add equal parts water and witch hazel to the spray bottle.
-Then add 20 drops of each oil.
This spray really worked and smells wonderful. Mosquitoes hate certain scents. I was sure to find a mix to keep them away. Drinking lots of water helps too. I had some leftover from the trip and I'm using it as an air freshener. Oh how I love double duty products.
