🧼 Instructions:
- Add lemon slices and rosemary to a small pot of water.
- Bring to a simmer on the stove — the steam begins to release natural oils that repel mosquitoes.
- Add your essential oil once the mixture is warm (don’t boil the oils — they’ll evaporate too quickly).
- Let it simmer indoors to keep your home mosquito-free, or…
- Transfer it to a heat-safe bowl, place it outside with a tea light underneath to keep the mixture warm and actively working at your next garden party or picnic.
🦟 Why It Works:
- Lemon & Rosemary: Strong natural aromas that mosquitoes hate.
- Citronella/Eucalyptus Oil: Proven natural repellents that disrupt mosquito scent receptors.
- Steam Activation: Helps spread the scent through the air for hours.
🧴 Bonus: Make It Into a Spray!
Want a portable version? Strain the cooled mixture into a spray bottle and refrigerate. Use it as a skin-safe mist for hands, arms, ankles, and clothing. (Always patch test essential oils before applying to skin.)
