With this remedy not only will you perfume your home, but the mosquitoes will never return
### Instructions
#### Method 1: Simmering Air Freshener
1. In a small pot, add the lemon slices, rosemary, and optional cloves or cinnamon.
2. Pour in the water and bring to a gentle simmer on the stove.
3. Add the essential oils and let it simmer, uncovered, for as long as you like.
4. Refill water as needed. The scent will fill your home and the vapors will naturally repel mosquitoes.
#### Method 2: Room Jar Repellent
1. Add lemon slices and rosemary to a heat-safe jar or bowl.
2. Fill with warm water.
3. Add essential oils and stir gently.
4. Place the jar in any room — especially near windows, doorways, or beside your bed.
5. Replace ingredients every few days for continuous effect.
### Why It Works
* **Lemon and rosemary** emit strong natural oils that mosquitoes avoid.
* **Lavender and eucalyptus** are well-known for their calming scent and insect-repellent properties.
* **Citronella**, often used in candles, is a natural mosquito deterrent.
* The aroma is pleasant for humans — but overwhelming and unpleasant for insects.
### Bonus Tip: Add a Small Fan
To increase the effectiveness, place a small fan near the jar or simmering pot. It helps spread the scent through the room and makes it harder for mosquitoes to fly near you.
