Mild Bug Spray Ideas ? can I make my own?
Does anyone know of a bug spray that has a pleasant smell ? Citronella is overwhelming to me, probably doesn't help that I have migraines and my smell sensitivity is high at times. Or can I make my own with a mild scent. Skin so soft solid ??? Maybe ??? Any ideas. Thx.

Re: Mild Bug Spray Ideas ? tips ?
Burt’s Bees Herbal Insect Repellent has a citrus aroma. I think it's a bit pricey, but it's probably worth it. Not sure how well it works, but I like other Burt's Bees products. I'll bet if you do a google search, you might even find something that is unscented.

You may be able to use some essential oils that don't bother you as much as the citronella. I just saw a post about diy bug spray using oils on making lemonade blog.

I know it's a little off-season, but I use grapeseed oil with lavender essential oil or lemongrass essential oil. Works like a charm!
