I made this bug spray after reacting badly to many commercial ones which contain deet and other strong insecticides. It is made to repel bugs, not kill them (or me).
Refreshing and not sticky, you can use this all year round on yourself, on linens and on door and window screens to keep the nasty buggers flying somewhere else. The video shows my arsenal of therapeutic grade essential oils that go into this bug spray formulation (the amber bottles are decanted from keg-sized bottles for ease of dispensing).
INGREDIENTS: HYDROSOL (CATNIP, EUCALYPTUS, CEDARWOOD, ROSEMARY), WITCH HAZEL, LEUCIDAL, ESSENTIAL OILS (PEPPERMINT, GERANIUM, LAVANDIN, TEA TREE, LEMONGRASS, CITRONELLA, EUCALYPTUS LEMON, ROSEMARY, ROSE GERANIUM).
Shake well! Best to use within 12 months. Please note that the color (visible in pouch refill) may range from white to varying shades of yellow and brown (essential oil batches vary in color/shade).

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS FORMULATION IS BASED ON BUG ACTIVITY/CONDITIONS WHERE I LIVE (NEW JERSEY SHORE avg yearly temp 52.7 °F).
IT MAY NOT BE AS EFFECTIVE IN OTHER AREAS ESPECIALLY WITH SUSTAINED AND EXTREME HEAT WHICH WILL HAVE A HOST OF DIFFERENT AND MORE VIRULENT BUGS. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT'LL WORK FOR YOU.
Everyone is different, I don't know how this will work for you.
