How can I make my own natural insect repellent

Sure thing! Here are five different ways to make your own natural insect repellent:

**Essential Oil Mix**: Grab some essential oils like citronella, eucalyptus, or lavender. Mix about 10-15 drops of your chosen oil with a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba oil. Just apply it to your skin, and you’re good to go!

**Vinegar Spray**: Combine equal parts of apple cider vinegar and water in a spray bottle. You can also add a few drops of essential oil for a nicer scent. Just shake it up before you spray it on yourself or your clothes.

**Herbal Infusion**: Steep some fresh herbs like mint, rosemary, or basil in boiling water for about 30 minutes. Strain it and let it cool. Once it’s cool, pour it into a spray bottle and spritz it on for a natural repellent.

**Garlic Spray**: Blend a few cloves of garlic with water, let it sit overnight, then strain it. Mix the garlic water with a bit of dish soap and spray it around your yard or on your skin. Just be warned, you might smell a bit garlicky!
