I need a natural fly repelant that you can apply to your skin.?

Answer 1

Common recipes often involve a combination of essential oils such as eucalyptus, tea tree, lavender and sandalwood. These are mixed with water in a spray bottle and sprayed on.

Mix 3 parts water to 1 part Skin So Soft in a spray bottle.

Bounce fabric softener sheets repells insects. Some people just stick a sheet in their pocket when outdoors.

Slice lemon thinly. Place in a bowl with a few sprigs of rosemary and cover both in boiling water. Allow to steep overnight and strain the mixture the following morning. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and shake before applying.

Some people use other fly repellent recipes on their animals. Garlic is the most common. Mix one part crushed garlic to five parts water. Shake the mixture and leave overnight. Strain and pour liquid into a spray bottle. As an internal fly repellent, the addition of garlic to a pet's feed causes the skin to secrete garlic-scented oils that deter flies.

Some use white wine vinegar, water and any combination of eucalyptus, lavender, sandalwood or tea tree oils. Mix a few drops of essential oil (eucalyptus, lavender, sandalwood or tea tree oils) into a little Ivory liquid and add to the vinegar and water. Put the resultant mixture into a spray bottle and shake well before using. Variations include the addition of strong, cold tea instead of water.
