DIY Natural Mosquito Repellent Spray for Your Summer Nights at the Cabin

Summer at the cabin is magical... until the mosquitoes arrive.

Luckily, Bois & Boucane has the solution: a simple, natural, and effective homemade mosquito repellent spray you can use every evening around the outdoor wood stove — no harsh chemicals needed.

Ingredients:

  • 100 ml distilled water
  • 100 ml apple cider vinegar
  • 20 drops citronella essential oil
  • 10 drops eucalyptus essential oil
  • 5 drops lavender essential oil
  • 1 BPA-free plastic or glass spray bottle

Instructions:

  1. Pour all ingredients into the spray bottle.

  2. Shake well before each use.

  3. Spray on arms, legs, ankles, and clothing (avoid eyes and mouth).

Notes:

  • This spray doesn't last as long as DEET-based products (like Off! or Muskol),
    but it's perfect for sensitive skin and nature lovers.
  • Reapply every 1–2 hours, especially after sweating or swimming.

Bois & Boucane Tip:

Pair this spray with our weather-resistant outdoor cushions for ultimate comfort by the fire.
They’re made for cabin life — durable, stylish, and ideal for mosquito-free summer nights.

Bonus Tip: Mosquito-Repelling Plants for Your Patio or Fire Pit

They smell great — and they work.
With Bois & Boucane, create a mosquito-free outdoor vibe and enjoy the fresh air in peace.
