Homemade insect repellent

I just ran across this insect repellent idea on http://mothering.com/health/the-natural-first-aid-kit under the tea tree oil heading.  I am excited to give this one a try.  I feel much better about putting these ingredients on my kiddos.  Just hope it works!

Fill a spray bottle with:
1. 3 ounces water
2. 1 ounce witch hazel or aloe vera juice
3. 24 drops tea tree oil.
*Tea tree oil can also be applied to insect bites to stop the itching.
