Here is a great recipe for a Homemade Mosquito Repellent. I love that it is all natural with no chemicals at all! It will give me a piece of mind in knowing that it will help my family and I stay safe while enjoying the outdoors. It is very simple to make with only 4 ingredients and 1 spray bottle! We use this on the soccer field, at the pool or just hanging outside in the evenings. It works really well! Best of all I don't feel that I have to bathe my son before bedtime because of using chemicals.
Ingredients
- 15 drops of Lavender Essential Oil
- 10 drops Citronella Oil
- 5 drops lemon oil
- Distilled Water
Instructions
- Mix all of the above ingredients in a spray bottle and fill the rest up with water.
- Spray away and spray often!

Does this degrade the plastic? I wasn't sure if I needed to use a glass or metal spray bottle.
Since you are not consuming this - you should be safe to use however if you have any concern I would go with the glass bottle to be safe. I love to use a vinegar bottle myself 🙂
