What can you use to make a natural Bug Repellent?

Answer 1

Hi, there are many things that work to repel bugs, the most effective being string smelling herbs like peppermint, basil and feverfew. For a recipe for a homemade repellent, visit http://www.copperwiki.org/Homemade_Mosqu...

Remember, however, that all homemade repellents lose their efficacy within an hour, so be sure to repeat use for greater and longer protection.

Borax mixed with vinegar make a good repellent for bigger bugs like roaches. Hope this has been of some help!

Answer 2

Citronella is a natural bug repellent plant. Looks kinda cool too.

Answer 3

it's not repellant, but more of a bait that kills bugs...

borax.

not sure if it's natural but it's more natural than bug spray, and cheap too.

Answer 4

I've been told "listerine" in a spray bottle works!

and I know that "skin so soft" by AVON does work great!!
