Home made bug repellent

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Caron's Gateway Real Estate NH #054318

Bug season is officially here in the north country.  When the sun starts to wane for the day they come out in multi swarms.  Bug repel can get costly and most is not that effective.  Try this: Everybody likes the smell of Vanilla, Everybody but bugs. dilute 1 Tablespoon of Vanilla extract with 1 cup of water and wipe the mixture on your exposed skin to discourage those pesky mosquitoes, black-flies and ticks.

Enjoy the outdoors, don't get eaten alive!

Thanks for the tip. My first reaction, it will repeal some bugs but possibly attract others? cheers cvc

This is good stuff and smells a whole lot nicer then the off the shelf alternatives...
