Add your essential oil drops directly to your glass spray bottle.
Fill the bottle the rest of the way with the carrier oil of your choice.
Shake well.
Spray periodically on the ankles, arms, and other exposed skin to repel ticks.
Notes
Make a child-friendly version of this remedy by using 1 drop each of clove, orange, vetiver, and ylang-ylang. The amount of carrier oil remains the same.
