How can I make my own insect repellent using plants

[JulissaParks]

Sure thing! Here are three different ways you can whip up your own insect repellent using plants:

[JourneeZimmerman]

**Essential Oil Mix**: Grab some essential oils like citronella, lavender, and eucalyptus. Just mix a few drops of each with a carrier oil like coconut or olive oil. Rub it on your skin, and you’ll smell great while keeping those pesky bugs away!

**Herbal Spray**: Take some fresh herbs like mint, rosemary, and basil. Boil them in water for about 30 minutes, then let it cool and strain the liquid. Pour it into a spray bottle, and you’ve got a natural repellent that you can spritz around your yard or on your skin!
