These pests cause havoc for campers, hikers and other outdoors men or women who hate the thought of having to be covered in bug bites.

DIY Insect Repellent Clothes Spray
- How to make your own DIY Insect Repellent Clothes Spray:
- Mix together 10 drops citronella essential oil, 10 drops lemongrass essential oil, and 5 drops lavender essential oil into a 4oz glass spray bottle filled with distilled water. Shake before each use.
- How to apply it:
- Spray lightly onto exposed skin (avoid eyes) as needed.
- How to store it: Store out of direct sunlight and at room temperature in a cool, dark place like a cabinet or drawer. The mixture will keep its potency for several months if stored properly! If you find that the mixture is too stiff after being stored for several weeks or longer, just add 1–3 teaspoons of water back into the bottle when ready for use again — this may help thin out the repellant so that it sprays more easily from your bottle! You can also simply add less water than usual when refilling as needed over time to avoid having too much excess liquid mixed together with the essential oils which could cause them not work properly anymore due to dilution by too much water content…this might happen if you’re storing in an area where temperatures fluctuate greatly day-to-day during summertime months (or wintertime months) – this would cause condensation within bottles which can dilute contents making them no longer effective at keeping away pesky bugs like mosquitos!
You Will Need:
- Clothes: The clothes you’ll be wearing when out in the field.
- Essential oils: The essential oils that will be used to create the repellent.
- Vodka or rubbing alcohol: The alcohol needed to dilute the essential oils.
- Water: Water for diluting and mixing together all ingredients.
The method:
- The method: Mix 1 tablespoon of cedar oil, 10 drops of eucalyptus oil and 1/8 cup water in a spray bottle. Shake well before each use. Spray the mixture onto your clothes, paying special attention to areas that are likely to come into contact with clothing bugs (like waistbands). Reapply as needed or after washing your clothes to ensure the bug repellent stays effective. Discontinue use if you experience skin irritation.
20 drops of eucalyptus essential oil
Eucalyptus is a natural insect repellent and is more effective than citronella. It’s easy to make your own eucalyptus oil bug spray by combining 20 drops of eucalyptus essential oil with a carrier oil like jojoba or sweet almond oil, then adding this mixture to water in a spray bottle. You can also add other essential oils such as lavender or peppermint if you want something stronger or prefer the smell of those specific oils over eucalyptus. Keep in mind that too much oil will leave an oily residue on your skin so use it sparingly!
20 drops of clove essential oil
Clove is a shrub that has been used for centuries as an antiseptic and analgesic. Clove essential oil is one of the most popular oils to use for repelling insects. It contains high levels of eugenol, which makes it very effective in helping to repel mosquitoes, flies, ants and other bugs.
Clove oil can be used to help relieve muscle aches and pains as well as toothaches caused by dental work or cavities. It can also be helpful with colds and flu symptoms such as fevers, nausea, headaches and stomach aches.
10 drops of citronella essential oil
- Citronella is a natural insect repellent.
- Citronella is an essential oil, meaning it’s made from the steam distillation of lemon grass plants.
- Citronella is especially effective at repelling mosquitoes, ticks, and chiggers when mixed with other essential oils like lemongrass, peppermint, eucalyptus or cedar wood.
To make your own bug spray: add 10 drops of citronella essential oil to a small bottle filled halfway with distilled water (you can also use witch hazel). Shake well before each use and apply liberally to skin when in areas where bugs are known to be present (such as near lakes or rivers).
5 drops of rosemary essential oil
Rosemary essential oil is a natural insect repellent, anti-inflammatory, astringent, antiseptic and antioxidant.
It is a great addition to your bug repellent recipes. This recipe calls for 5 drops of rosemary essential oil per ounce of witch hazel – making it easy to use as a spray or roll-on.
1/4 cup of vodka or rubbing alcohol (as a dispersant)
The first step is to make sure you have a dispersant. This can be either vodka or rubbing alcohol, but it doesn’t really matter which one you choose. Both are equally effective and safe for humans and the environment.
Dispersants (also called carriers) help the essential oils spread evenly over your clothes, so that when you get dressed in the morning they don’t clump up in one spot but instead spread evenly throughout your clothing. This makes them more effective at repelling insects than if they were just sitting on top of the fabric without any other ingredients to help them along their way!
2 cups of water (as a base)
2 cups of water (as a base)
Water is the solvent, carrier and diluent. It is also known as the medium for which all chemicals are dissolved in.
Bug repellents can be applied to clothing as well as skin.
Bug repellents can be applied to clothing as well as skin. Because the smell of the repellent isn’t appealing to insects, they won’t stay around long enough to do any damage. However, if you plan on wearing a shirt or pants for more than two weeks at a time, it’s important that you wash them first before applying the treatment. This will help prevent odor build-up and reduce any risk of irritation from prolonged exposure.
You should also make sure you’re using an environmentally friendly product (such as ours) with no harmful chemicals that could potentially harm other living things in your neighborhood—including other people!
