Summer is almost here, which means early morning walks, evenings spent cooking on the grill, and camping trips. None of these things are complete without time spent outside with friends and family in the great outdoors. What can I say? It’s a fact: we Texans love to be outside. But summer also brings with it bugs–mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and ants all get in the way of enjoying outdoor fun. A few years ago, my husband came up with a homemade insect repellent recipe that works great outdoors and around our pets too. We have this on hand now for easy application anytime we’re outside–and it smells good too. Truly it does! I have used a number of different insect repellents over the years and have finally settled on one that works for my family. Yes, it is a homemade solution; and yes, it has worked for us for quite awhile now. I haven’t had to pop into the store for bug spray recently, but when I do all I have to do is look in my cabinet. Summer is just around the corner, and I know many of us are ready to hit the outdoors running. While most of us don’t mind run-of-the-mill insects, biting flies can be pretty annoying.
