Notes

1. This is The Homemade Bug Spray Essential Oil Blend That I Recommend:

55 drops lemon eucalyptus essential oil
15 drops cedarwood essential oil
15 drops lavender essential oil
15 drops rosemary essential oil

2. For the carrier oil if you don't want to use jojoba you can substitute with grapeseed, almond, olive or Neem oil (or a combination of them)

3. Vodka is used as a preservative. If you will use the bug repellent within 3 to 4 days it isn't needed.

4. Lemongrass can be substituted with eucalyptus, lemon, both, or you can mix and match
