"Needs a thinner oil base" COMMENTS:  I found that if I only used the Soybean oil as the base that it would not spritz out of the sprayer, but instead spray in a straight stream. I altered the formula to be half the soybean oil and half MCT and it now sprays nicely. I'd suggest updating this recipe.

"it works!" COMMENTS:  My brother is a real life mountain man. He goes deep into the woods nearly every day to bring back roots, berries, mushrooms, whatever. He camps out often as well. If anyone would be a tough test for this stuff, it's him. I made this kit for him to try out, having no idea how or if it would work. He liked it so much, he gave some away to friends and asked for more. I've made this 3 times for him, and I'm looking to try the solid lotion bar form next. PRODUCT USED IN:   Body Sprays & Perfume

"Bug spray kit" COMMENTS:  This kit was very easy to make. Truly works against the mosquitos and bugs BUT it is all oil base so of course...very oily and not always convenient to carry around to use.

"Great!" COMMENTS:  Everybody loves this product! It's so nice to have a natural alternative. People are even using it on their dogs! It gets pretty buggy up here in Maine...especially this year, and it's working like a charm. A quick tip for anyone interested; I used a turkey baster to fill the bottles and it worked great!

"Works Like a Charm " COMMENTS:  I got this kit as I figured it would be a hit especially since I live in the gulf south bugs of the biting nature tend to be quite a nuisance, and this kit does the trick the smell is much better than a bug spray with none of those harmful chemicals I would use this any day and my customers love it.

"Amazingly Effective" COMMENTS:  I had some reservations when I first ordered this kit. At first I only ordered only one kit and gave my husband who is an avid rafter a bottle to test on a river trip. The mosquitos on the Colorado River can be RUTHLESS, but a few sprays in the air and application on the skin - they didn't bother him. Even more fantastic I was able to test the product again later this summer on the river and sure enough - those biting buggers stayed away for the most part! I was even able to convert "Only Deet Works" people into "I'll take the Non-Toxic but effective" believers! An effective bug spray doesn't need to be toxic, sticky, and pore clogging to be effective!!! t've since bought several kits to replenish my stock of products. PRODUCT USED IN:   Body Sprays & Perfume THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • All Natural • Non-toxic • Great feel on skin • Wears off quickly

Evie • Michigan Date Submitted:  07/16/2016 I Recommend This Product!

"Fantastic!" COMMENTS:  I love this spray! The mosquitoes have not been too bad this summer in my area, but so far, this stuff worked great!!! However, because it is oil based, I only sprayed on my skin and not on my clothing. I would highly recommend this product!!! PRODUCT USED IN:   Body Sprays & Perfume

"Works like a charm!" COMMENTS:  This kit is quite easy to do and the resulting product is fabulous! I decided to use 2 different EOs, the one that came with the kit: Lemon Eucalyptus and the other I decided on was Lavender Basil. All four of the plants, and now EOs, are hated by mosquitoes. Even the biting beach flies of the Outer Banks hate this spray. PRODUCT USED IN:   Body Sprays & Perfume THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • effect • ease of application • softness of skin

"Best Bug Spray" COMMENTS:  Customers were a little hesitant at first, but after trying this spray they loved it! A little bit oily if not applied lightly, just a fine mist works wonders. Even my farmer friends here in Illinois like this and come back for more. PRODUCT USED IN:   Body Sprays & Perfume

"Wonderful!" COMMENTS:  I love this kit! Not only is it super easy but it also works! It is a little bit greasy on the skin but not an inconvenient. Being from Mississippi, mosquitos are around almost year round. This spray is a nice natural way to ward off those pesky bugs. The smells reminds me of a Citronella candle but in a delightful way. My customers LOVED it. I put a cute label on them & sold all four bottles immediately - for $12 each. PRODUCT USED IN:   Body Sprays & Perfume

"I Love This Product!!!" COMMENTS:  I made about 6 of these "Do Not Bug Me" sprays for my Brother and my Boyfriend to take with them camping. They all loved the scent and instead of using the store brand bug repellent, they all used this spray. Yes it worked - no bugs! I drove up to the campsite and sold 20 bottles to other families at the campsite! I will be purchasing a lot more kits. I love all the kits that I purchase. Thank You so Much!!

"Works" COMMENTS:  I bought this towards the end of last summer with the hopes of getting it tested so I could have it for this year. To my surprise it actually worked! Since then I've used it during many camping trips and the bugs seem to avoid it. It smells just like commercial bug spray from stores but to me it works better.

Staff Answer Soybean oil was used in this recipe because it is one of the natural oils known to repel mosquitoes. You can substitute aloe vera oil in this recipe but not the gel. That would be too thick and would not go through the sprayer.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: March 31, 2015 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No
