RE: Product Spotlight Series #7 - BUG OFF! Essential Oil Roll-On
Could you report back with how it works for you?? In our area the Asian tiger mosquitos are terrible. Also in the last few years the reaction I have to the bites is way more itchy than it used to be! I just want to hang and work in my garden in peace without those pesky mosquitos eating me alive! Great post - and if this works for you i would consider getting some. Also I have most of the essential oils on that list so I wonder if I can mix up my own with some fractionated coconut oil....now my gears are turning! Thanks again!
For sure! It may be a little while before I get to test it out but I'll comment again with how it works as soon as I can! For now, I see that the bug repellant has good reviews on their Easy shop and people claim that it does work so fingers crossed! Otherwise, it does seem like a fairly simple recipe to make at home too!
Awesome. If I decide to figure it out an make my own, i'll report back as well. I got about a dozen bites this evening just going out to put some yard toys away. arrrgggh!
Oh no! Yeah, the skeets this year seem terrible. I just ordered the repellant though so I will be able to test it out as soon as it arrives! Also, I hope to get back to the homestead this weekend which will be the ultimate test... cross fingers!
Hey @jaymorebeet, I just wrote an article about my weekend at Wild Rose Acres that updates my opinion of the bug repellent! You can read it here if you'd like! Basically it did not work as well as I had hoped so I will be looking for different options!
Oh no!! Did you get bit up? I'm having a terrible time in my backyard with mosquitos - i'm getting destroyed every time I'm out there - even for 5 minutes. In broad daylight! What gives!!! I hope you find something else that will work....if you do, let me know!
Yes, I did get bit up terribly! The skeets are out and about constantly here to so hopefully I find something that works soon! And I will absolutely let you know!
