Equipment

  • Small breathable bags

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon dried lavender buds and flowers
  • 1 tablespoon dried peppermint leaves
  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon dried clove buds
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 15-20 drops essential oils

Instructions

  • Add equal parts of the dried herbs into the small bag.
  • Place a cinnamon stick into the bag.
  • Drop essential oils on top of herbs.
  • Pull drawstring slightly to avoid any spilling, but don't pull tight.
  • Place bags in the area of concern.

Notes

As the scent fades over time, simply drop more essential oils over the top of the herbs to extend the life of the mothballs.
