Homemade Bug Spray

Being outdoors in this beautiful weather has inspired me to share a homemade remedy for deterring bugs. This is not a cure all, permanent fix, but it will help keep the bugs away.




In an empty spray bottle, mix 1 part water to 3 parts Listerine. Then spray your plants!

It's great for outdoor picnics or parties. It has kept bugs away from the area and off of my plants for hours, even days on some plants. I also use it on some of my vegetable plants. The best part is that I don't have to worry about the spray hurting my son or my animals.

Much to my husband's dismay, I have even used it on us!
ihikhik He says it did nothing for him, but it kept the gnats off of me and my son.
