NATURAL HOME MADE MOSQUITO SPRAY INGREDIENTS:
Ingredients: 12 oz glycerine
...
Olive oil 3 oz
Cloves tincture. 12 oz
15 drops citronella essential oil (I use a bit more)
15 drops lemon grass oil (I use a bit more)
15 drops peppermint essential oil 10 drops tea tree oil (optional, but it works against ticks)
A funnel
An empty spray container
An empty mixing jar to mix the contents in
DIRECTIONS: Pour glycerine olive oil and cloves tincture in the mixing jar and add the essential oils. Shake well and place in your spray bottles using a funnel. Before each use just shake up a bit. Make sure you don't get any in your eyes.
This batch doesn't feel all oily because of the glycerine..
I also notice the glycerine holds the cloves tincture better while using less oil. The oil is needed to keep it sticking to the skin. After 30 mins, I can still smell it. It's not bad at all. So far very pleased. I hope you all try this... And please share any ideas which can make this better!!!
To make cloves tincture all you need is:
100 proof vodka and cloves. Fill jar about 1/2 full with whole cloves and fill jar to rim with vodka. Shake 4 times a day for no less than 4 straight days.
Strain cloves from alcohol and toss used cloves in your yard.
