I use a natural non-toxic bug repellent called Greener Ways' Bug Repellent.... it has Citronella 7.5% , Cedar 0.5%, Lemongrass 3% oils, and 89% water and 1% soap

in a fine misting bottle. I buy it on Amazon or in the Kroger market in the garden center.

Here's one for your skin:

Since you didn't stipulate which type you need.

What insects in particular are you wanting to spray away?

If you want to repel mosquitoes, original scent Avon Skin so Soft works well .

Here is a recipe using essential oils:

Hi Jo, hope this helps you out,

1. Fill a spray bottle with 8 oz. of water. ...

2. Add 6 drops of peppermint oil to the bottle.

3. Add 6 drops of tea tree oil to the bottle.

4. Add 9 drops of eucalyptus oil to the bottle.

5. Screw on the top of the spray bottle and shake well.

6. Spray the oil mixture onto your body and clothes before going out.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup witch hazel astringent (use distillate for dry or sensitive skin)
• 1/2 tsp Brain Octane Oil or other light culinary oil
• 10 drops lemon eucalyptus essential oil
• 10 drops citronella essential oil
• 10 drops tea tree essential oil
• 5 drops geranium essential oil
• 5 drops lavender essential oil

Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a dark glass spray bottle. That’s it! Since the essential oils tend to float on top, give it a good shake every time you apply. Adding a few drops of castile soap or vegetable glycerin can help with separation, but you still have to shake before applying.

Even if you’ve sprayed, go through the tick check after hanging out in areas with trees and brush. It’s too quick and easy of a step to skip.

It depends on what type of insect spray you need. What are you trying to kill? Spiders, fleas, flies or ants? Can make a big difference.
