Bugs Be Gone Forever
by Terri Bonin
It really bugs me how there are so many insect sprays on the market that still contain harmful chemicals that affect our endocrine system! (did you catch that intentional pun!) LOL! …You should take some time to read about the toxic chemicals in standard bug sprays and their side effects.
Last night I made a fun bug spray bottle with some of my favorite and I’m sharing the recipe below as well as apps to check out the ingredients in what you are currently using…

Bugs Be Gone Spray
- 25 drops citronella oil
- 15 drops purification
- 5 drops peppermint
- 1/2 cup of witch hazel (Or coconut oil)
- Filled the rest up with water
It smells amazing. I can’t wait to try it tonight on my walk!
* You could also mix it in a carrier oil such as coconut oil to get a longer-lasting repellent effect, but then you would use a different type of bottle to dispense it…
(A side benefit of the coconut oil is that it also acts as a sunscreen from UV rays.)
