Insect Repellants for Your House and Garden
Don’t use commercial killer!
They disrupt our endocrine system and create auto immune diseases, kill other beneficial insects, like bees and birds. Bad for kids and dogs.
My favourites are:
Mozzies: I use aromatherapy oils and mix with a carrier oil like coconut, almond, olive or any neutral oil. Mix 20 – 30 drops each of peppermint, citronella, tea tree and rosemary (or even just two of them) into your carrier oil and dab onto your temples, neck, arms and ankles before bed or when out in the garden. Don’t use these toxic Peaceful Sleeps. They are endocrine disruptors.
Ants: I use the same oil and wipe my window sills, door entrances and other areas where ants enter. A solution of cayenne and ground pepper or vinegar and water are other options.
