Bothersome Bugs

Bugs seem to be everywhere this time of year.  We have a pond, and with all the rain, mosquitos are out in force.  I have made a spray called BugsAway to keep them off me.  It contains Eucalyptus Citriodora,( which I use in place of Citronela), Lemongrass and Cedarwood.  Use about 3mm Essential Oils to 4 ounces distilled water. Shake gently before using.  Distilled water is empty water, so I uses it with all sprays to better absorb the particles of volitile oils.
Other Essential Oils that can be used for bites, Lemon, Basil, Cinnamon, Lavender and Peppermint. Try  them on spider and ant bites too; as well as stings. Lavender is good for itching and pain.
