Haha, they all aren’t that bad! Now Australia?? I used to want to go there until I started watching nature shows and realized everything there is designed to kill! Nope, I’ll stay here with my giant mosquitos and fire ants. I at least stand a chance against them!!

There are some really beautiful things about Australia, but when it comes to deadly wildlife you are so right- I don’t think anywhere else can compete! So although I’m still terrified of southern bugs, Australian bugs have me petrified 
I’ll stay right up here in the north with my little bug spray to shoo off the normal bugs

The glass spray bottles arrived and the bug spray is all bottled up!
I decided not to dilute it with water- it’s just the herbal-infused witch hazel enhanced with the essential oil I had added before. The smell is strong but not overpowering, and it hasn’t gotten any “weird smell” comments since the essential oil was added (lol). I’ve actually had three people say it smelled pretty good! 
It seems to be working so far, but that’s just on weak Massachusetts mosquitos- I have no idea if it would hold up against the beastly beasts down south
Results from this recipe- I’m happy with it and it’s working! That being said, the next batch will be minus the mint since it didn’t seem to do much. I’ll put more citronella in the next batch as that does seem to be the strongest bug-resistant plant 
Anyways, thanks for joining me on the experiment! If anyone decides to give this/a smiliar recipe a try, I’d love to hear about it 
Blessed be!
