As soon as the good weather returns, the ticks wake up!
When you know the diseases they transmit, it is better to avoid getting bitten!
And that's true for both you and your pets.
Fortunately, this homemade spray contains a super effective natural tick repellent.
The miracle ingredient of this recipe? The rose geranium essential oil recommended to me by my homeopathic doctor.
I've been using this spray for 3 years, and since then my whole family and my dogs have been through tick attacks. Incredible, right?
Especially since it was not won since we live on a large lot of tall grass surrounded by woods!
Needless to say, ticks are everywhere near me...
Before using this natural anti-tick product, I used to remove at least 3-4 ticks per day from my dog.
So you understand my joy when I discovered this easy-to-do and effective grandmother's trick! I tell everyone about it!
Without further ado, here is the recipe for homemade tick repellent that really works . Watch:
- 1 tablespoon of vodka
- 40 drops of Geranium Rosat essential oil
- 200 ml of distilled water
- empty spray bottle
1. Pour the vodka into the spray.
2. Add essential oil.
3. Pour the distilled water into it.
4. Mix well.
Shake well before each use then spray on your clothes.
Remember to put some on every time you go out in nature.
Reapply this repellent as soon as the smell begins to dissipate to keep it 100% effective.
You can spray this spray directly on the skin, but avoid putting it on young children or pregnant and breastfeeding women.
This remedy can be sprayed on animals that are easily in contact with ticks, such as dogs or horses. But avoid putting it on a cat.
Finally, know that you can replace the vodka with witch hazel.
And There you go ! Thanks to this anti-tick spray, no more tick bites on you and your pets :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
Very useful for anyone hiking, camping and children playing in nature.
You don't even need to put chemicals on your skin!
You can store this tick repellent for 6 months if you keep it away from light.
After each walk, remember to inspect your legs, thighs and arms.
Ask someone in your family to inspect your back as well. A little restrictive, but really essential.
