This essential oil blend has been a staple in our apartment for the last few months. I originally mixed it to repel bugs naturally (the store bought stuff is SO full of scary chemicals and feels icky on your skin) but we fell in love with the scent and actually use it as a room spray as well. #WinningLavender, clove, vanilla, and lemon are all known to repel insects like mosquitoes, gnats, and ticks naturally so why not let them do their job?

Vanilla: mosquitoes, flies, gnats

Lemon: mosquitoes, ticks,

Lavender: mosquitoes, moths, fleas, ticks

Clove: mosquitoes, flies,

Another major benefit? This stuff smells AMAZING. Even if you don’t need/want bug spray, make this for your home – you will LOVE it. The lemon gives this blend some citrusy zing and the clove is spicy, sweet so the blend is energizing as well.

Hope you enjoy as much as we do. :)

Supplies:
2oz spray bottle
