Homemade Insect Repellent Spray
Ingredients
- 1 cup of water
- ½ cup of white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 10–15 drops of an essential oil known for repelling insects (e.g., citronella, lemongrass, peppermint, eucalyptus, or lavender)
- 1 tablespoon of dish soap (optional, helps the solution adhere to surfaces and disrupts the insects’ wings if sprayed directly)
(Feel free to adjust quantities based on the size of your spray bottle.)
