Insect Repellent
A citronella and witch hazel spray keeps bugs at bay for backyard evenings without synthetic chemicals.
What you'll need
- 1/2 cup witch hazel
- 20 drops citronella essential oil
- 10 drops lemon eucalyptus essential oil
Steps
- Combine ingredients in a spray bottle and shake well.
- Spray onto exposed skin, avoiding eyes.
- Reapply every 2 hours outdoors.
Tip: This offers milder, shorter protection than DEET-based repellents — reapply often, especially in high-mosquito areas.
