Homemade Mosquito Repellent



Did you know that in the United States alone there are more than 150 species of mosquitoes? They will never go to far from water so if you have even the slightest amount of standing water it is best to eliminate it before mosquitoes descend upon you. It is inevitable that you will suffer from mosquitoes sometime this summer so here is a safe, homemade repellent you can keep on hand.


Ingredients:
4 parts glycerin (from the pharmacy)
1 part eucaluptus oil
Place the ingredients into a small bowl and mix thoroughly. Place in a well sealed container. Rub a small amount on your arms or legs to keep those pesky mosquitoes from biting.
