- 30-40 drops of your choice of essential oils such as citronella, lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus, cedarwood and lemongrass
- A tablespoon of witch hazel
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients. You will need 2-3 tablespoons of your choice of oil, 30-40 drops of essential oils, and a tablespoon of witch hazel.

- Store the repellent in a cool, dry place. Remember to keep the repellent away from children and pets.
