How to make a Mosquito repellent spray
The natural product we are going to make in this post is mosquito repellent spray.
In the summer, if you are always at home or outdoors, you will be plagued by mosquitoes. Commercially available insecticides also contain harmful ingredients to the human body, so if used in large amounts or repeatedly in an enclosed space, they give bad nutrition to the respiratory system.
It’s not even better if you have young children. So, now we show you how to make mosquito repellent from natural ingredients that are much safer.
*Tips
1. When making a room spray or fragrant spray, the ratio of ethanol is 10 to 30%.
And the percentage of essential oil is up to 3%.
In this recipe, we used citronella, lemongrass, and peppermint as essential oils that mosquitoes hate.
