HOMESTEAD DIY BUG SPRAY

Doug you have the greatest laugh! I cannot say it often enough: Stacy you are a gift and a blessing with your knowledge and willingness to share. Thank you so very much!

If you use it during the day do not put any citrus essential oils because you can Some cold-pressed essential oils, particularly the citrus oils, can be phototoxic when applied to skin that is then exposed to sunlight. ... Phototoxic effects may include redness, blistering and rash.

You two are not only informative but entertaining. Fun fun!

I'm really enjoying your older videos thank you .​💗 Doug & Stacy 💗

Great video. I make one for myself out of witch hazel, tea tree oil and Listerine.

Stacey, do you have a recipe for an anti fungal for the fruit trees? I’m growing organic which is a huge challenge! Thanks! I love you guys❤your videos are are great!

Doug, you’re funny! Stacy explains things well enough! 🤣

I can't believe I'm just seeing this one!! I'm sooooo making this. Fleas and mosquitoes are awful here so I'm gonna use this all winter too. It sure can't hurt! Stacy you are the bestest!!! Thank you so much for sharing. I love yalls interaction when Doug tries to clarify. You're just the cutest couple. Love, hugs and blessings! Lisa

your door opening by itself was creepy/cool. got the old ticker pumping hard for a second. lol!

great video Doug and Stacy.We should start a plant trading so we can cut down the cost if growing the herbs

We use lemon balm all the time for bugs, home made smell goods, and sometimes I've been known to drink it in teas.

Bugs don't like me! Must be all the garlic! LOL!

You two are absolutely wonderful. What a gift you are. Thanks for being yourselves. It's such a perfect blessing.

Cloves are amazing! Thank you for sharing this. We have a lot of ticks this season which is not normal. We keep pulling them off. I will make some I am growing mints, lemon balm, lemon grass as much as possible! I need a good buy spray safe bugs spray! Thank you for sharing! Y’all rock! Wendy🙏🏻🇺🇸

My mix for mosquitoes and horseflies: one ounce water, one Ounce white vinegar, 1/2 ounce baby oil, 15 drops of clove oil, 15 drops of lemon grass oil. 1 or 2 drops of liquid dish soap. Shake & spray on exposed skin. There is a smell of vinegar but with the clove & lemongrass I don’t find it terribly offensive. I have found this to be very effective for at several hrs. Clove oil in wonderful stuff. Love the smell. The outdoor gun range that I have a membership has a lot of horseflies and they are aggressive. This stuff works extremely well for me.

Did I hear a tad bit of sarcasm in that voice??? LOL....Don't let the internet trolls bother you.You guys are great and the REAL homesteaders love your channel!!!

🌺Oh my I can’t wait to try this. My father was a Hare Krsna and my mother a true hippie from the 60s both from California.... So I grew up in an ALL natural home with gardens, no chemicals, and home remedies.... Both of them passed when I was in my very early 20s so unfortunately I wasn’t able to pick their brains and learn everything..!!! I try very hard to raise my family in a very natural environment and the bug spray is HUGE!!! When I moved here to Missouri I was eaten ALIVE by the mosquitos !!! One of my sons and I are basically allergic, so I’m so very excited to try out something more natural and less harmful as we have to apply bug spray every single day as we love the outdoors 😊🌺🌸

This is so timely as my hubby gets bit over and over every time he is out mowing and trimming our yard. I absolutely love your videos and have learned so much for you. I am also a fellow Missourian. I have been trying to learn about herbs and essential oils and making chemical free products for our home. Thank you so much. Blessings, Linda Hardesty

Stacy, you did an Excellent job at teaching us. I understood it the first time you said it. At first I was afraid Doug was trying to confuse you and take over your show but I guess he did have a legit question 😊 when it came to making a big batch. Make it big then pour into a small container then finish off with witch Hazel. Thank You So much. Doug is the Star when it comes to building things. Your the Star when it comes to health, food and beauty 😊. Thanks Guys 🙏❤bye 🙋🏼‍♀️

I use alcohol lemongrass tea tree and lavender oil mix for mosquitoes. Works well. Im allergic to many chemicals. Had to find an alternative since im so sweet and they love me.
