Insect Repellents Made of PURE ESSENTIAL OILS
By J.C. Shannon
It is summertime and while we all enjoy the warmer weather and the flowers and trees; insects, bugs and other creepy-crawlies also enjoy getting out in the warmer weather, and in particular, getting into our homes. Many PURE ESSENTIAL OILS are natural bug repellents that give you a chance to keep them out of your house without resorting to noxious pesticides.
LAVENDER OIL should be in every home for its ability to help us in a myriad of ways. When it comes to insects and other creepy-crawlies, they all hate LAVENDER OIL and avoid it whenever it’s around.
Peppermint Oil is also a good deterrent. Most of the insects, especially ants, will stay away from it as well.
Other PURE ESSENTIAL OILS creepy-crawlies, moths, and mosquitoes avoid are Citronella , Lemongrass , Cinnamon , Thyme , and Basil . Moths in particular don’t like citrus oils.
Here are a couple of different blends that are good mixes to keep insects out.
- Blend #1: 10 drops Citronella and 3 drops Peppermint.
- Blend #2: 5 drops Lavender and 5 drops Citronella.
Either of these blends can be soaked into a strip of paper, hung in a window and it will keep insects and other creepy-crawlies out. You can also put a few drops in a cotton ball and put them in the places you know the insects are entering your home.
The main thing to remember is PURE ESSENTIAL OILS are not about killing huge amounts of insects but about keeping them out of our homes and living spaces. We here at Rocky Mountain Oils sell the oils needed to make our homes comfortable, insect free and give them a lovely aroma in the process.
