Why Homemade Bug Spray?

You may not realize but there is a common product known as DEET in bug spray. DEET is known as a eye irritant and may causes rashes, soreness and blistering.

DEET also has a negative impact on wildlife. It's toxic to birds and it also ends up in many water sources. 

If you want to avoid all of this you can make a quick and easy homemade bug spray! There are only 4 ingredients. These natural ingredients will actually kill the mosquitos rather than just repel, as DEET is used for.
