Answers:
Essential oils can be used as a safe, natural, effective bug repellent. Eucalyptus, tea tree, lemon balm, thyme, lavender, and rosemary will protect against ticks, fleas, mosquitoes and lice. You can combine them or use a single oil alone. If you wanted to make a solution to apply topically you can mix the oils with aloe vera gel or olive oil and apply it to your skin. You can also add a few drops on a hankerchief or tissue and put it in your shirt pocket. I have also heard that a dryer softener sheet also repels bugs... but I have not yet tried this myself.
