Instructions

Making Homemade Tick Spray

Measure out the apple cider vinegar into a glass jar.
Add the essential oils to the apple cider vinegar and mix through.
Pour the mixture into a 4 oz spray bottle.
If using this spray on children, reduce the drops of essential oils by half.

Using Homemade Tick Spray

Shake well before each use.
Then spray on shoes, socks, clothing, and backpacks. It is best to be sprayed on these items as the vinegar scent can be strong when sprayed on skin.
In saying that, you can carefully spray it very lightly on exposed skin though make sure to avoid sensitive areas, especially on the face
Reapply every couple of hours when outdoors.
