I've heard of people making a spray using some or all of these three oils as an ant repellent. I think it would be worth a try to repel them. If you want to get rid of them, you could try borax.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-40696761833939195512014-07-18T05:02:13.711-07:002014-07-18T05:02:13.711-07:00Lavender has quickly become my favorite scent but ...Lavender has quickly become my favorite scent but I have never bought the essential oil before and am eager to try it.

The fact that it's very inexpensive is nice, too! <br />As for insects, Bulk Apothecary states that the 40/42 has a slightly stronger camphor scent than some of the other varieties of lavender. Camphor is known to repel insects and moths. So good on that front, too!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-37173779068729368812014-07-17T10:50:35.904-07:002014-07-17T10:50:35.904-07:00Hi Lili,

It's very simple.<br /><br />http://www.creativesavv.com/2014/07/my-cal-king-fitted-sheet-dilemma-my-bed.html<br /><br />I love eucalyptus -- it reminds me of my childhood. Eucalyptus oil would make a nice spray. It's also a natural insect repellent and known to be mentally invigorating, as well.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-8828689725896623252014-07-17T06:31:35.822-07:002014-07-17T06:31:35.822-07:00I think the smell of lavender is lovely.
