3 Homemade Bug Repellent Recipes

3 Homemade Bug Repellent Recipes

This best homemade bug repellent recipe is easy to make with simple ingredients you have at home and can save you money over the store bought kind.

Homemade bug repellent is a good way to avoid chemicals but still keep mosquitoes, flies and gnats from bothering you. It’s best to spray it on your clothing instead of on your skin.

3 Homemade Bug Repellent Recipes - Click Here For The Recipes!

Homemade Bug Repellent Bars Recipe

1 cup olive oil – can be found here*
1 cup avocado oil- can be found here*
1 cup beeswax can be found here*
30-40 drops Essential Oils (any combination you like):
citronella 
eucalyptus
lavender
peppermint
lemon
lemongrass
clove oil

I like a combination of clove, citronella and lemon for my bug repellent bars.

Melt all of the ingredients together and stir until beeswax is melted.  Add essential oils. Then pour into molds. These silicone molds work great.  Let set until completely firm and pop out of molds.  Then just rub on your skin like a lotion.
