An easy and natural way to keep the bugs out of the house or patio is by using all natural ingredients. We’ve been growing lemongrass for a while. Like all grasses, it grows rampant and much faster than I have time or need to consume it all. Apart from seasoning my rice, I also use this as a natural bug repellant. Here’s what to do:What You Need:
Several long stalks of lemongrass, cut into pieces
Citronella essential oil
Germanium or other floral essential oil
Sliced lemons or limes
A glass of warm water
Pretty vase or cup for display
What to Do:
Simply place the sliced lemons or limes into the bottom of the cup. Add the lemon grass pieces. Pour the warm water over top. Now add about 10 drops of Citronella essential oil and about 5-6 drops of your other favorite scent. Use lemon stalks to stir and combine. This smells heavenly and works best in smaller rooms or areas that aren’t super breezy or exposed. The scent lasts for a couple days. Just refresh it by starting over!
