Yvette Gerace on Aug 22, 2013Here's so you don't have to jump through links to get what ya need. Please note. These inst. are from the blog, and NOT ME! In one cup of water, boil the following:Mint – Just about any kind. It is nice to have a mix too.CatnipLavenderThymeSageDried ClovesChives You want to have about one third cup of fresh herbs evenly divided. Boil the herbs in one cup of water. After it comes to a boil, cover it and let it cool. This will help bring out the oils that will repel the bugs. Plus, it smells incredible! I read about 10 different recipes before nailing this and the scent in my house is just great. Cool then strain the herbs out mix what's left with 1 c of alcohol. (Dry the herbs out and use them for pot pouri - (My thought ;) )
