Did you know that essential oils can offer a natural and effective way to defend against unwanted pests like chiggers, mosquitos and ticks that can make time outdoors uncomfortable and even hazardous!
I’m excited to share some easy options without resorting to harsh chemicals to create a protective barrier that helps keep your skin bite-free while supporting your body with the uplifting and grounding benefits of pure botanicals!
Here are several DIY recipes to help you enjoy gardening with more comfort and peace of mind!
Ticks, Mosquitos & Chiggers be gone! 20 drops YL Citronella essential oil
10 drops YL Eucalyptus Globulus essential oil (best variety known for its powerful insect repellent effects)
10 drops YL Lemongrass oil
5 drops YL Basil essential oil
5 drops YL Tea Tree essential oil (known as Melaleuca Alternifolia)
For a moisturizing mixture to rub on the body: Fill a 4 oz plastic or dark glass flip top bottle nearly full with coconut oil, or V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex. Add 1 teaspoon of the above mixture, and shake bottle to blend it all together, and apply as needed
For a spray bottle: fill the bottle with purified water and add 1 teaspoon of the mixture. Shake well to use as a body spray. Note: I also spray my jeans, boots, and hair when insects are bad.
Quick spray for Insects
