Great for DIY bug spray!
I use in a spray bottle with distilled water for a bug spray...works great! I've watched mosquitos avoid where I've sprayed. Even my husband uses it. It's nice to know what we're spraying on us!

Good for keeping the mosquitoes away
I made a spray DIY mosquito repellent, and it has been fairly effective keeping the little critters from biting. I also made a recipe of coconut oil, citronella oil, and peppermint oil "lotion" to rub on my skin. That is highly effective in keeping the mosquitoes from biting. The fragrance of the citronella oil is not offensive.

Excellent bug repellant-
Put it on the bottoms of our feet, wait three minutes to let it absorb and disperse. Mosquitoes ignored us for about three hours- even in the hot Wisconsin summer woods! I Keep it with me all the time-
