I hate mosquitoes. But they LOVE me.
That’s why my local Great Lakes American Herbalist Guild decided to feature a DIY herbal bug spray at our first big general meeting. I’ve decided to share it here as well to spread the love, or share in the hate of those pesky critters, as is my case. This blend was put together by our secretary, Rebecca!
Herbal Bug Spray
1 oz spray bottle
Distilled water
approx. 5 drops each of rosemary, thyme and geranium essential oil
Fill the spray bottle with water and drop each of the essential oils into the bottle. Spray on when needed!
Added bonus- you will smell nice when you use this spray unlike commercial bug sprays. Smelling nice + keeping mosquitoes away = awesomeness.
Thanks for sharing this recipe, Rebecca! I couldn’t make it to the general meeting myself to make this blend with everyone, so I’ll have to make some on my own.
Have a happy, bug-free summer!

Thanks for sharing this. I think this is important information for everyone who wants to be healthy (and bug-free)–in today’s world there are few solutions that are as quick and easy as this one. Glad I found your blog, it seems like our philosophies have a lot in common. You’re always welcome to visit me at my little corner of the Internet (www.mariewetmore.com) to add your thoughts or just say hi.
