Who loves the good ole outdoors? I do! Especially during summertime. What I don’t like though, are the outdoor annoyances like the garden pests and bugs. You can enjoy the outdoors annoyance free with this simple outdoor spray recipe.
Whether going on a hike or playing out in the yard, this natural spray is great for kids and adults and is made with natural ingredients including essential oils. This homemade natural bug spray is perfect for many outdoor occasions.
Best of all? No deet or other chemicals that might worry you. While this might not prevent insects from biting or insect-borne diseases, it does create a scent that might help deter outdoor pests.
