This repellent does not kill insects, but keeps them away. It works very well against flies and mosquitoes ... try it!
The main ingredients are the following:
- 4 glass jars
- 40 drops of essential cedar oil (wood)
- 40 drops of lavender essential oil
- 40 drops of lemon essential oil
- 40 drops of citronella
- 2 lemons
- 2 limes
- 8 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- Water
- Floating tealights (candles)
Instructions:
Cut the lemons and limes into slices, bearing in mind that all four glass jars must contain the same quantity of ingredients. Put two sprigs of rosemary on each slice of citrus fruit and fill the jar with water about 3/4 full.
Add the essential oils: Add 10 drops of each oil for each jar and shake vigorously, so as to mix the essential oils well. Add another slice of lemon and lime to the jar and, if you see that it is not filled up enough, add some more water.
Once this step is finished, you can light the floating candles inside the glass jar. And that's it!
Fantastic! Now, for this summer you can say goodbye to the most annoying insects!
