Purple Clove Farms' Bug-B-Gone


​What you will need:
​
  • 1 Spray Bottle
  • ​1 Clove Garlic
  • 1/2 cup Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tablespoon of Lemon Zest
  • 8 drops of Vanilla extract
  • 12 drops of Lavender Oil
  • 2 Liters of Distilled Water
  • 1 Sieve







​Thinly slice garlic and place into blender with lemon juice, lemon zest, and a 1/2 cup of the water. Once mixture has been fully blended together, empty contents in spray bottle. Add Lavender oil and Vanilla extract to same bottle and top up with the rest of the water. Shake well and let sit in a cool place for 2 hours. Now pour contents over a sieve to filter out solid particles. Re-pour solution without the solid particles into your spray bottle. Tighten lid of bottle and adjust nozzle to mist. Natural bug spray is now ready to use. 



​*We have used this recipe now for two years, and it has been successful at repelling mosquitoes, midges (no-see-ums), black flies, and horse flies. On a hot summer day, working in the garden, this has lasted us approximately 3 hours without having to reapply. It smells good, it is all natural, with no synthetic chemicals.
