Natural Moth Repellant
Mothballs are made from paradichlorobenzene and can cause all kinds of health problems including damage to liver and kidneys. They’re especially hazardous to children if swallowed–and they don’t smell all that good either.
You can make sachets to stash in drawers, trunks or hang in closets out of pretty cotton fabrics, plain cheesecloth, muslin, linen or clean nylons (knee highs or cut pantyhose).
Sachet Recipes
- 50/50 rosemary and mint
- 1 part dried lavender, 1 part rosemary, 1/2 part dried lemon peel, 1 TBS cloves
- 1 part whole cloves, 1 part whole peppercorns, 2 – 4 cinnamon sticks broken in pieces
- 1 part dried lavender, 1 part dried lemon peel, 1 broken cinnamon stick
- 1 part cedar shavings, 1 part thyme
- 1 part peppermint, 1 part spearmint, 1 part rosemary, 1/2 part thyme
You can mix and match your own recipes, or just use 100% one ingredient if you like.
