Home made Insect Repellent

Sunday, September 13th, 2009
Sometimes we want to open our bedroom window to get fresh air coming in during the night time. But we worry about the insect coming. In the other hand we haven’t installed insect protection net on the window. So, what do we do ?
I have an idea to solve this problem. We can create a home made insect repellent from fresh Lavender plants. As you know it, most insects do not like the smell of Lavender plants. But if you don’t have that plants, probably your neighbours may just have. So,just look around the neigbours and ask them some of the leaves. A small grab of your hand is good enough.
Then you need to create a small pouch from a remnant of fabrics, just enough to wrap those Lavender leaves. If you don’t know how to create a small pouch you can use a clean old socks.
Put the Lavender leaves into the pouch. Close the opening with the rope. Then leave that one on the window. The smell of fresh Lavender leaves will make most insects run away.
