Make these DIY mosquito repellent candles for an all-natural solution to combat those pesky mosquitos buzzing around your ears!
Why we love this project
Did you know it’s possible to craft homemade DIY mosquito repellant candles using ingredients like lemon, lime, water and essential oils? Not only do these beautiful creations add decorative appeal, they can also repel unwanted pests in your yard while being quick and simple to assemble! We especially love this project for two reasons.
These mosquito repellent candles use natural ingredients from lavender and peppermint to eucalyptus and lime for effective repellent action. We will show you three methods for crafting them; either lavender and peppermint, eucalyptus and lime, or lemon, eucalyptus, and peppermint will do just fine! Additionally, they make beautiful decorations at outdoor parties or wedding showers!

Make Your Outdoor Party Vibrant Looking forward to an outdoor celebration? Make these lovely floating mosquito repellant candles as decorations throughout the yard. Obtain unscented floating candles from local craft stores or online.
Fresh greenery such as rosemary or lavender works effectively against mosquitos, although you can also opt for faux greenery as an extra defense mechanism.
Use wide mouth mason jars of any size you prefer so your floating candles have room. For larger than 16 oz jars, simply double the recipe so as not to dilute the mixture too much.
Spring and summer are among our most anticipated seasons, yet with them comes mosquitos. I prefer being able to sit comfortably on my porch without constantly having to swat my hands, legs, arms or face in an attempt to repel them – hence these DIY mosquito repellent candles! Which ones will you try first?
