NEW: Report shows lemon eucalyptus essential oil is better mosquito repellent than DEET

You might find this recipe from Wellness Mama useful. I would probably go straight to trying the lemon eucalyptus oil as the base..

Essential Oil Bug Spray

Wellness Mama Bug Spray Ingredients

• Essential oils: choose from Citronella, Clove, Lemongrass, Rosemary, Tea Tree, Cajeput, Eucalyptus, Cedar, Catnip, Lavender, Mint
• Natural Witch Hazel
• Distilled or boiled Water
• Vegetable glycerin (optional)

How to Make Homemade Bug Spray

1. Fill spray bottle (I used 8 ounce ) 1/2 full with distilled or boiled water
2. Add witch hazel to fill almost to the top
3. Add 1/2 tsp vegetable glycerin if using
4. Add 30-50 drops of essential oils to desired scent. The more oils you use, the stronger the spray will be. Rosemary, Clove, Cajeput, Lavender, Cinnamon and Eucalyptus… it works great and smells good too!
