How to use
Here's a simple DIY insect repellent recipe using tea tree oil:
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces (60 ml) distilled water
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) witch hazel or vodka (acts as a dispersant)
- 20-30 drops tea tree essential oil
Instructions:
- In a clean spray bottle, combine the distilled water and witch hazel or vodka. The witch hazel or vodka helps the essential oil disperse evenly in the water.

- Close the spray bottle tightly and shake well to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
- Your DIY tea tree oil insect repellent spray is now ready to use!
To use:
- Shake the bottle before each use to ensure the ingredients are well combined.
- Spray the repellent onto exposed skin, clothing, and outdoor gear before going outdoors.
- Reapply the repellent every few hours, especially if sweating heavily or swimming.
This natural insect repellent with tea tree oil can help deter mosquitoes, ants, and other pesky insects while also providing the benefits of tea tree oil's antibacterial and antifungal properties.
