I know it has been posted in the past but I can't remember it. Can anyone post a good home made recipe again? Thanks

Here's mine that I posted back in '08 - except this year I also added 2 tbsp Avon Skin So Soft for the little bugs, too

Start with a clean, empty gallon jug.

Put in:

1/8 oz Tea Tree Oil
1/8 oz Lavender Oil
1/2 oz Citronella Oil
30 drops Pennyroil Oil
30 drops Eucalyptus Oil
2 oz aloe vera gel
1 tsp pine oil
1 pint witch hazel
2 tbsp glycerine
8 oz green alcohol
2 tbsp permethrin - optional
water to make 1 gal.
So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....

Madelyn, where do you buy these essential oils?

Any health food store, like Rainbow Blossom, Whole Foods Market, Amazing Grace (I don't know what you would have in your area), and sometimes the dollar stores!! Old "head" shops often have some of them too, near the incense.
