Another Homemade Spray

While you won’t be able to purchase vinegar spray on your own, it’s easy to make your own at home for a fun DIY project.  Also, just drinking vinegar won’t do much besides the aforementioned body odor. If you want a good home solution for mosquito repellent, here’s what you’ll need:

If using apple cider vinegar, all you need is the vinegar and a spray bottle.  Pour it into a spray bottle and spray it directly on your exposed skin. The scent will do the rest.

If you have something like white vinegar, you’ll need to mix:

• 3 cups of water
• 1 cup of vinegar
• 1 teaspoon of dish soap
• All into a spray bottle. 

While you can spray this mixture onto your skin, it’ll be more effective sprayed around the area you want mosquitoes to stay away from.  This mixture also works well repelling other bugs, such as ants or wasps.
