1. Pepper Spray

Pepper spray can act as a very powerful chemical free bug repellent. You might be thinking you’re using conventional pepper spray that people use, but to the contrary it’s just a play on the name. First, start by boiling 2 or 3 cups of water. Once the water is boiling, add 2/3 cup of hot peppers.

Let this mixture sit for a couple minutes, letting the water cool as you let the peppers sink in. After letting it sit, sift the mixture through a sieve to help remove the larger pepper pieces. Place this mixture in a liquid spray bottle and use when needed. Be careful not to spray it onto yourself or others because it will burn if it comes into contact with your skin or your eyes.
