It's that time of year again. Time for humans and our pets to be
outside enjoying nature. This is also when people are seeking to deter insects from themselves and their pets. I
am so happy to be able to share this uplifting solution for deterring insects.

What you will need:
1. Cobalt Blue Bottles (we use the glass ones in the house and small 2 ounce plastic spray for going out) - best prices are
specialtybottle.com.
You will need 1 ounce bottles with atomizer for traveling, walking,
etc. 2 or 4 ounce bottles with atomizer for home/office/car. For
animals in heavily infested areas purchase the Cobalt Blue Boston Round
Glass Bottle 1/2 oz w/ Dropper. If it's a large dog just double everything. (large being over 60 lbs.)
*Cats need a much more diluted version of just Purification and Lavender.
2. Distilled water is best. (If you can't for some reason just make sure no chlorine, fluoride, etc.)
3. From Young Living: Purification, Lavender (St. Marie's Lavender may
be better for this purpose, however they are both effective) and
Peppermint.
4. For 1 ounce spray bottle:
2 drops Peppermint
2 drops Lavender
4 drops Purification
5 drops Citronella
Top it off with distilled water.
Simply double the recipe for 2 ounces, and so forth.
To label,
onlinelabels.com have WEATHERPROOF labels. You can write on them or if you have a laser printer you can make beautiful labels.
*Cats floral spray:
4 ounce bottle:
2 drops Lavender
4 drops Purification
Top it off with water.
½ ounce bottle with medicine dropper can be used to prepare a mix of
equal amounts of Lavender and Peppermint and twice the amount of
Purification. Fill it up. Drops can be placed on animals weighing 50 lbs
or more between the shoulder blades.
Frequency of spraying differs for all of us, you simply need to notice
what works for you and your pets, same with undiluted blend.
Enjoy Buzz Off!
