Homemade Mosquito Repellent – Deet-Free Spray that WORKS!

During our Midwest summer, we need bug spray. Insect repellent is simply a necessity around here. With two young kids, I have been experimenting with deet-free mosquito repellents for a few years. Before last summer, I had to make my own completely from scratch because I wanted to minimize the toxic chemicals on my skin. Furthermore, most traditional store-bought insect repellent made my husband lethargic and feeling "funky".

Finally last summer Young Living came out with a natural insect repellent, and this is a must-have for your summer. Do not let those pesky pests disturb your summer outdoor adventures during these warm months.  Young Living’s Insect Repellent works hard to naturally repel mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas using only 100 percent naturally derived, plant-based ingredients. And it really works! The people in my household fall into that category that mosquitos swarm to them. Their bites blow up on their skin and we just cannot have that. I'm so thankful that I found something that we all love.

How to Use Insect Repellent

Young Living's Insect Repellent comes in a squirt bottle, so you have to get it on your hands and rub it onto your skin. This is not really an issue, but I wanted something that was easier for the kids and provided an even application.

When I saw these spray bottles on Amazon and immediately ordered a couple to see if they would work with the insect repellent. OH MY GOODNESS I’m in love! It works SO well (better than I had hoped for) and sprays an even spray all over.

And this spray bottles helps me make this insect repellent last longer. I can get 3-4 spray bottles out of the bug spray concentrate.

How to make:

  • In a 10-oz spray bottle, add 2oz of YL Insect Repellent.
  • Add a few oils. I added an extra 10 drops of Citronella and 5 drops Geranium.
  • Top with vodka or with hazel (leaving about half an inch room for the sprayer)
  • Voila. Give a quick shake before using. Spritz & enjoy the great outdoors!

The Young Living repellent contains pure sesame oil and specially selected essential oils known to traditionally have bug-repellent properties. These essential oils make up all 99 percent of the active ingredients in this formula. The other 1 percent? Vitamin E.

This bug repellent is safe on little ones, crafted without synthetic and harmful chemicals. Traditional bug sprays/repellents contains DEET and other harmful chemicals to keep bugs away. (Look up the harm that DEET can cause). Not to mention, you will love the pleasant, citrusy aroma and smooth, non-greasy, non-sticky application and so will your kids!!

If you live in the woods of Georgia, moutains of North Carolina or are somewhere in between in your own backyard you will be relieved knowing you are using a pure, plant based product to protect yourself and your loved ones.
