bitten by the diy bug
peppermint + lavender homemade bug spray
Natural bug sprays are quite different to conventional sprays: they are gentle and safe, but you need to spray them regularly for maximum effect. The essential oils, including basil (Ocimum basilicum), peppermint (Mentha x piperita) and lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), are included for their bug-repelling qualities—and they also smell great.
