Sophie's Haven 17,464 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Fly Spray 1 Spray bottle (12OZ) I broke mine down to 3 bottles as I have 3 porch areas...... 2/3 CUP WHITE VINEGAR 1 3/4 CUP WATER 10 DROPS TEA TREE ESSENTIAL OIL 10 DROPS LAVENDAR ESSENTTIAL OIL COMBINE WATER AND VINEGAR IN BOTTLE-SHAKE-ADD OILS-SHAKE WELL. SPRAY AREA THAT YOUR GOING TO BE IN..........THE SMELL IS REALLY NICE OF THE TEA TREE/LAVENDAR OILS TOGETHER. I was on Pinterest looking for a DIY project that I am considering doing and came across this recipe. The hubby and I sit on our porches for coffee in the morning and lunch on his days off and the flies this year have been something awful.......so I had all the ingredients for this recipe and sprayed the porch area that we have lunch and we were able to eat lunch and chit chat for a while before the flies came back........I am thrilled to be able to eat and not having to swat flies away..........so I have a bottle at each porch door to spray the air before sitting down to relax and enjoy the day....Yeah!! Now to find something natural for wasp...................... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sophie's Haven 17,464 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 It has been in the mid 90's here all week but for us early morning until up to about noon the temperature is still pretty nice. Our house sets in a cut that we get cool morning breezes so we take full advantage of that before they become hot breezes.............we have been getting afternoon showers that last for about 5 minutes........but still have to water all my gardens nightly.......I have Bailey so spoiled that he has a fit if I leave him in the house so I have to wait to water when the sun finally goes down so he can go with me. He is such a sweetheart he sits there and waits for me to finish or he will go up on the porch and lay where I am in his site. The other day I went and got a fan and put it on the porch so he could be outside with me.......I had the fan directed at him so he could lay there and watch me pick blackberries ..........he was a happy paw......... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
