🐾🌿 Natural Fly Repellent Spray for Pets & Home 🌿🐾
Flies can be more than just a nuisance—they can spread bacteria, irritate your pets, and make outdoor time less enjoyable. Instead of reaching for harsh chemicals, why not try a safe, homemade, and natural fly spray that’s gentle on your pets and your home, but tough on pesky insects?
🌸 DIY Natural Fly Repellent Spray
Here’s a tried-and-true recipe you can mix up in minutes:
Ingredients:
2 cups of water (distilled works best)
½ cup apple cider vinegar (flies dislike the strong scent)
10 drops lavender essential oil (calming for pets, repels insects)
10 drops eucalyptus essential oil (naturally deters flies & mosquitoes)
10 drops lemongrass or citronella essential oil (classic fly and mosquito repellent)
1 tsp vegetable glycerin or a few drops of mild dish soap (helps oils blend)
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a clean spray bottle.
Shake well before each use to mix oils evenly.
Lightly mist around doorways, windows, pet bedding, and outdoor seating areas.
For pets, spray onto your hands first and gently rub into their coat, avoiding the face, eyes, and nose.
🐝 Bonus Garden Tip
Want extra protection outdoors? Plant fly-repelling herbs like basil, mint, lavender, and rosemary around patios and pet play areas. Their natural scents act as living fly deterrents, and they add beauty and fragrance to your garden.
