Keep Insects at Bay

Theres no need to turn to commercial insect repellents and bug sprays with harmful chemicals if you have lemons on hand. To make a simple yet effective bug spray, simply combine 1 part of lemon essential oil to 10 parts of carrier oil like olive or sunflower oil or ethyl alcohol. You must use a carrier oil to formulate this concoction because water simply wont mix with the essential oil.
