Make your own herbal insect repellents!
It's summer time and that means BUGS! I dislike bugs and they drive my dogs,cats and horses crazy. We have something to drive them crazy too! Horses do best with an oil based rub. You can also use the same oil based natural insect repellent. Natural Repellent for Horses Infuse together in a canola or soybean oil 1 oz each of crushed rosemary, thyme, lemongrass, catnip, basil, bay leaf and crushed cloves (to infuse add 3 cups of oil to a pan or crock pot and simmer on low for about 1 hour, Let sit 24 hours and then strain out the herbs.) Apply rub to horses around ears ,neck, jaws, legs. Apply to humans on the arms ,neck legs, exposed skin. Ouick Hints Lemon Balm or a yarrow tea can be misted on to children to help repel mosquitoes Put bay leaves in your cupboard to repel roaches & moths. Lavender sachets will help to repel moths . Patchouli sachets will also do the same thing. Recently the EPA has approved several natural products as registered insect repellents. Natural bug repellents use essential oils to battle buggy insects. Citronella, a pungent grass from Southeast Asia is a common ingredient. Other plant oils - including cedarwood, eucalyptus, lemon grass and peppermint - help provide a wider range of protection. A drop of pennyroyal essential oil on your dogs collar can help repel fleas. Don't go overboard because your dog's sense of smell is 50 times stronger than yours. You don't want to drive your dog crazy with it.
2 parts pennyroyal Easy Insect repellent lotion Add to 8ozs of light unscented skin lotion 15 drops of citronella essential oil, 15 drops of eucalyptus essential oil and 10 drops of patchouli essential. Mix up well and then apply to exposed skin.
