All natural tick/fly/gnat/mosquito spray

In a clean, empty spray bottle, (mine is 28oz.) mix together:
4 ounces of Avons' Skin So Soft Original Bath Oil
1 cup of vinegar (either white or apple cider vinegar will work)
40 drops of 100% pure citronella essential oil
40 drops of 100% pure marigold essential oil

Fill the bottle the rest of the way up with water

Shake well each time before applying it to yourself and your pups and since the oils and water will separate quickly, be sure to shake it up while using it.  If it's just not quite getting the job done, add another ounce of Skin So Soft and 10 drops of each of the oils.

Of course, because of the ingredients, don't spray on eyes or open wounds, but just a light mist on your dog's fur/hair and a light mist of it over the top of your clothing will do wonders to keep those nasties away from your family!
