I was out yesterday & the mosquitoes had me on the menu, so I pulled out my mix & sprayed on me & around where I was sitting. No more problems.

The cheap brands use oil in their essential oils ( which is supposed to be plant extracts)

I have clove oil, citronella oil, i need more eucalyptus oil and geraniol oil.

It should be in an amber colored glass spray bottle. NEVER in plastic because EOs react with plastic. For anyone who's never tried this, be sure to spray a test spot to make sure you're not sensitive/allergic to any of these oils. Almost any one of these oils alone will repel mosquitoes. You can also use undiluted organic apple cider vinegar in a sprayer and get the same results. We use a 50/50 water/apple cider vinegar spray for our dogs. They also get homemade apple cider vinegar in their water, up to 1 tbs per gallon to repel ticks and fleas. Do lots of research and educate yourself on EOs because they are very potent concentrates. Do you know the difference between top notes, middle notes and base notes? If not, find out before you make a solution you know little to nothing about. Best wishes to you all and may we win the daily battle of the bugs!

Be careful with the tea tree oil; so good for us but not for your pets. It was the only thing I omitted, nice blend. I also added a little bit of almond oil; just to help it ‘cling’ to my skin.
