How to Make Natural Mosquito Repellent
Are you tired of being constantly bothered by pesky mosquitoes every time you step outside? Look no further! I have a simple and effective solution for you. By following these easy steps, you can create a homemade clove and vanilla spray that will help keep those annoying insects at bay.
What You'll Need
Before we dive into the process, let's gather all the necessary ingredients and materials:
- Organic cloves
- Boiling water
- Pure Vanilla Extract
- A spray bottle
Step 1: Soak Organic Cloves
Start by taking a few tablespoons of organic cloves and placing them in a jar. Pour 8 oz of boiling water over the cloves until they are fully submerged. Allow the cloves to soak in the fridge for three days. This process will help extract the natural oils and scents from the cloves.
Step 2: Mix Clove Water with Pure Vanilla Extract
After three days, strain the cloves from the water, and you'll be left with a concentrated clove-infused liquid. In a separate container, mix equal parts of the clove water and pure vanilla extract. The combination of these two ingredients will create a potent mosquito-repellent spray.
Step 3: Transfer to a Spray Bottle
Now that you have your clove and vanilla mixture, it's time to transfer it into a spray bottle. Make sure to use a clean and empty spray bottle for this purpose. Pour the mixture into the bottle, ensuring that it is securely sealed.
Step 4: Apply the Spray
Before heading outdoors, especially in areas where mosquitoes are active, spray the mixture onto your skin. Focus on exposed areas such as arms, legs, and neck. The strong scent of cloves and vanilla will act as a deterrent, keeping those pesky mosquitoes away.
Remember to reapply the spray every few hours for maximum effectiveness.
