Apple Cider Vinegar For Mosquito Repellent
A long-standing tradition, apple cider vinegar is a natural repellent for mosquitos.
Apple cider vinegar is one of the best natural mosquito repellents that you can use. Apple cider vinegar has been used as a natural mosquito repellent for many years, and its popularity continues to grow because of its effectiveness. Apple cider vinegar works as a repellent because of its scent. Mosquitoes are attracted to human sweat, body heat and carbon dioxide (CO2), which we exhale when we breathe. The smell from apple cider vinegar can mask these scents and keeps the mosquitoes away from you
This homemade mosquito repellent recipe can be used on the skin with no issues.
This recipe contains vinegar, salt and water. It can be used on the skin with no issues, but it’s important to keep it out of your eyes and mouth. If it gets in your eyes or mouth, rinse with water immediately.
You will need:
- 1 cup of apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp of sea salt (not table salt)
- 2 cups of filtered water
Many people have different combinations of ingredients in their Apple Cider Vinegar Mosquito Repellent Recipe.
Many people have different combinations of ingredients in their Apple Cider Vinegar Mosquito Repellent Recipe. Some add lemon juice, essential oils, and/or peppermint oil to the mix. You can use any type of vinegar you like—white or apple cider vinegar are both available at most grocery stores.
Some people prefer to spray it on their skin using an atomizer bottle; others prefer to apply it with a cotton ball. I find that applying it with a cotton ball works best for me because I never get enough spray out of my atomizer bottles anyway!
You will want to reapply this mixture every couple of hours or after sweating heavily if you want to keep mosquitoes away for the duration of your outdoor activity!
The apple cider vinegar is usually mixed with other repelling ingredients like lemon juice and essential oils.
Applying apple cider vinegar directly to your skin can cause irritation, so it’s typically mixed with other repelling ingredients like lemon juice and essential oils. Additionally, the use of vinegar in this manner is not proven by any research studies as effective at preventing mosquito bites, but there are a number of people who swear by it. Some other repelling ingredients that can be used include garlic and onion (which have been shown to be effective at keeping mosquitoes away), citronella oil (made from lemongrass), eucalyptus oil (a natural insecticide), tea tree oil (used as an antiseptic) and lavender oil (it has been claimed to repel bees).
To use this mosquito repellent spray, you must apply the solution to your skin and rub it in.
To use this mosquito repellent spray, you must apply the solution to your skin and rub it in. To do so:
- Apply to an area of skin that is exposed. This can be your arms, legs or torso.
- Rub into your skin until dry. Be sure to wash off any excess cider vinegar after applying it to yourself by rinsing off with warm water (do not use soap).
Apply as often as needed
You can also use this alternative insect repellent to kill off fleas and ticks as well.
- To use this alternative insect repellent to kill off fleas and ticks, you’ll need to use a solution that includes essential oils.
- Essential oils will serve as the key ingredients in your homemade tick and flea spray. Essential oils are typically extracted from plants and trees, but they can also be made synthetically through chemical reactions. They have many uses throughout history; one of those uses is for repelling insects! When applied topically to the skin, some essential oils are said to repel mosquitoes by mimicking their natural odor (the smell of CO2) or by being an irritant themselves for insects.
- When using ACV on yourself as a personal insect repellent, make sure you wash it off before going inside because vinegar can damage wallpaper or fabrics if left on too long. You should also avoid using very hot water when bathing with this mixture if possible since it may cause damage to certain materials just like hot water does when washing clothes!
