    Homemade Mosquito Repellent

    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.

      It's definitely a plus that this repellent uses no chemicals.

      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 🙂
