Then top up the rest of the spray bottle with the rest with the room temperature water.
Notes
This is a lovely Woodsy Scent:*Use warmed water to dissolve the citric acid and blend easier. Not hot as this could damage the essential oils and bottle (if you use a plastic bottle.)I prefer to use Glass bottles, for an environmentally friendly container that you can reuse and reuse and REUSE, meaning it is also saving you money! :) PRECAUTIONS: Do not use Pine Essential oil if pregnant or on infants or small children. You may remove this Essential Oil from the blend and this spray will absolutely still work wonders in helping avoid bites and soothing any bites after! (I prefer the addition of Pine as it's been said that bears do not like it and will likely stay away!) This is of course not 100% tested and there could be exceptions to the rule. But the theory is if you smell like food, you'll probably taste like that food. So I do not want to smell like food to them! Lol, Rather a tree? Sure I'll smell like a tree if that could deter bear interest, thanks! One blog recommended dipping a rag in pine sol and putting on your hiking backpack.. I'd rather drop some Pine Essential oil on a rag so I don't breathe in any chemicals myself.To See and Purchase all Essential Oils go to: https://DestressAndDetox.square.siteI got my Powdered Citric Acid here:Click to view on AmazonThese are the Glass Bottles I prefer to reuse/recycle:Click to view on Amazon
