Home-made fly spray

[Kim~Crayonboxminiatures]

I know this was talked about last year, and I did use it...but I can't remember the ingredients! I think it's White Vinegar and Dawn (or other) dish soap? Anyone remember the ratios or if there is any other ingredients?

I love the Eqyss Marigold Spray, but trying to save some $$.

Thanks!

I know there is one with skin-so-soft, cintranella (sp) oil, and vinegar i think but once again like you cant remember all the ingredients or how much of each but I know it works wonderful and smells good to.

Maybe someone else may know this one?

There are a few recipes for homemade flysprays on the Little Beginnings Info Page under the heading "Miscellaneous," including the recipe containing Avon Skin-So-Soft & citronella. That's the one I'm thinking about trying.

I've used diluted flea dip for years now, generally 1-2 cap full’s to the 32oz sprayer bottle.

I generally get the citrus based natural flea dip and it lasts a long time and helps.

The pyreterin (sp?) based ones can be used as well but I like the smell of the citrus stuff better.

Thanks, I found it there! I don't know why I didn't think to check there myself!

So do any of these really work - I am looking for an alternative to the chemical based fly sprays.

Thanks!
