Hot Humid Summer Insect Repellent

What you need: 

3 ounces water (3/8 cup)
20-30 drops citronella oil
7-10 drops eucalyptus oil
1 tablespoon dried lavender buds/flowers

What you do: 

1. First, place the water in a little spray bottle (I use a 4 ounce. If it's bigger, multiply the recipe for that size).
2. Add the 2 oils, close, and shake. Now add the lavender buds, and add more water to the bottle until almost full.
3. Shake again. It probably benefits if you let it sit for a little bit (1-2 days) to let the dried flowers soak.
And you're ready to spray!
I used this in summer in: upstate New York, southern France, camping (CA central valley), and at a farm animal sanctuary. Therefore, this is magic.'
