Title: Article - Make Your Own Peppermint Oil – The Best Insect Repellent
Post by: TWP on October 02, 2017, 09:59:16 AM

Simple process and useful product.

You can grow Peppermint in your window garden or outdoors in spring / summer.  It will self-propagate (has no respect for garden boundaries) so if you plant outside, be ready to spend some time weeding out the unwanted growth.

There are good pictures showing the steps and ingredients.

Yes, it does repel insects, but may need to be reapplied as it evaporates.
