Bug Repellant Recipe using Neem - anyone?


Question:
I would like to make an insect repellant recipe for us to use while gardening, I am thinking a simple oil or salve.

Can anyone help??

I have neem, citronella, lavender, rosemary and a few other essential oils & carrier oils on hand that need to be used.

Would love some tried & true advice before I start blending :) :) Thank you!

Answers:
Well I cheat a bit and add just about 10-20 drops of neem oil to an already made lotion. That way I already like the smell and it helps cover the neem oil smell. ( it smells alot like roasted onions) It has worked wonders for me.

if you have peppermint oil .
i like to use few drop peppermint oil in a spray bottle full with water, shake well. spray on you and your surrounding area.
if you have bug bite use purification oil on bite area. it will help you.

you can use neem oil in a spray bottle too.
