How to use essential oils for pest control

Mix a few drops of the oil with water in a spray bottle.

Aphids on roses – squirt the leaves and drive the bugs away with no harm to the plant.

Ants – smear peppermint or spearmint across the counter or floor and the ants won’t cross it

Flies -Kill them with one shot in the air from your spray bottle

Sandalwood is an insect repellant.  Combined with water, it becomes an insecticide.

Safe Insect Repellents

Put a little lavender around ankles, wrists, and waist-band to repell chiggers or ticks (or Lyme Disease of Rocky Mountain Spotted Tick Fever).  Lemongrass, sage or thyme might irritate your skin so put it on your pant cuffs and shirt sleeves.

For Pets, put Purification, around neck and back, taking care to avoid getting oils in your pets eyes.
