In reply to Paige. I don't know why you couldn't do that, but I've never tried. Ugh, ticks are awful!

In reply to maryrossfowler. Really interested in making a combo one since I live in the woods and just found a tick embedded on my poor 19 month old today! Would you recommend adding geranium oil to your mosquito repellent as a combo roll on? Thanks !!!!!

In reply to maryrossfowler. Actually, if you make it more oily, that would be great to keep away the noseeums. They evidently can't bite through oil.

In reply to Not Sure Y. There may be a WA listed as doTerra as their name . They are breaching the contract with doTerra International by selling on Amazon and Ebay. It HIGHLY discouraged by the company. People can tamper with the products and you do not know what you are actually receiving.

In reply to NotSureY. You can diffuse it, but I would be careful if you have any dogs outside with you. The cedarwood, eucalyptus, and arborvitae oils can be hazardous for them to breathe in. For anyone that has dogs outdoors, you might instead use strategically placed dishes of epsom salt laced with TerraShield.

Hi. Thanks for the recipe. I added some of your suggested oils to my mosquito recipe. One item of note in regards to ticks (nasty creatures!). While they don’t fly, they can fall out of shrubs and trees onto your body, they don’t necessarily always crawl up from the ground. So, I usually dab a bit or spray around my hairline too. Here’s to healthy debugging.
