Sharing is caring!

Looking forward to summer BBQ and cook-out season, but dreading the pesky mosquitos?

This mosquito repellent mason jar hack is just what you need. It uses essential oils as a natural repellent and is so easy to make!

There’s also a printable recipe card at the end of the post.

 

Spring weather is finally here, which means cook-outs, barbecues or just hanging out on the deck with a glass of spiked iced tea.

The only negative about that are the annoying mosquitos!  The may flies also make it difficult to enjoy. 

There’s nothing relaxing about constantly swatting bugs away, while trying to have a conversation.

But there are several different essential oils that act as a natural bug repellent. Let me show you what I used to make this.
