Bug Spray for Dogs

Bug Spray for Dogs

Equal parts of listerine (the brown generic one)
apple cider vinegar,
water
1/2 the amount of the other ingredients of Avon's Skin So Soft Bath Oil.
Put this in a spray bottle and shake well before using.
Spritz them all over, brush into skin then wipe with towel.

I have left out the apple cider vinegar and it works just as well.
This spray also will repel gnats etc on people.

I've used just Listerine and mineral oil all this season and its made a difference here.....

lavender oil, penny royal oil and tea tree oil... mixed in a spray bottle with 80% water will keep bugs off and smell really nice too... I suppose you could put a capful of vinegar or listerine in there too.. but the penny royal oil and tea tree oil smells really great!

I use the mix Sandy mentioned above for my dogs AND for myself! Here in Florida, we have far too many different kinds of flying, biting things in the warm/hot months! If I want to be outside and not swinging my arms around my head constantly, I spritz myself down with this mixture first, then I actually use a bit of Vanilla extract on a gauze pad to wipe around my neck and ears! The gnats really seem to HATE the Vanilla! :-D

I had heard that about Vanilla before. Good to know that it does work. Thanks DeDe.
