Essential Oils: Nature’s Mosquito Repellent

Mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance; they can be dangerous, too. To protect your family, especially during the rainy season when they breed rapidly, try using lavender or peppermint essential oil. Soak a clean sponge in the essential oil of your choice and place it in a small jar. Leave it closed for 24 hours, allowing the sponge to absorb the oil completely.

After 24 hours, open the jar and let the scent of lavender or peppermint fill the air. Mosquitoes will be repelled by the fragrance, creating a safe and comfortable environment for your family.
