If you’re looking for a simple homemade mosquito spray, this is one of Tamara’s go-to recipes. It takes just two ingredients and a couple of minutes to make.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pure vanilla
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Add the pure vanilla and water to a spray bottle.
- Secure the lid and shake well to combine.
- Spray onto exposed skin before heading outside.
- Shake well before each use.
How We Use It
We like keeping a bottle of this homemade vanilla spray handy during the warmer months when we’re spending time outside. It’s especially convenient for evenings on the porch, working in the garden, or hanging out with the kids.
Make a Smaller Batch
You can easily make as much or as little as you need. Just keep the 1:1 ratio:
- ½ cup pure vanilla + ½ cup water
- ¼ cup pure vanilla + ¼ cup water
Tamara’s Tip: Be sure to use pure vanilla, not imitation vanilla.
