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.

Quantity:

 Makes a little over 500ml

 250ml distilled water

 250ml witch-hazel or white vinegar

 20 drops of basil
