Anna Louisa ✨ Home & Cleaning Content Creator on Instagram: "DIY bug repellent 🍋🌿 Save this for your next garden gathering 🍋 I gave these a go after seeing them all over instagram. I was sceptical at first as I didn’t think they would give off enough scent but I can confirm they do and they smell lovely! They would make the prettiest centrepieces too if you made a few 😍 I will definitely be using these when we eventually have nice enough weather to host some bbqs! Here’s how to make them: 1. Find a mason jar (I recycled an empty coffee jar) 2. Add sliced lemon and/or lime (I used 2 sliced lemons as the jar was quite large) 3. Add 2-3 sprigs of rosemary (basil or lavender would also work) 4. Add enough water to fill to the neck of the jar 5. Add 10-20 drops of lemongrass or citronella
335K views · 11K reactions | 🕷️SPIDER season is here so here’s 3 ways to keep spiders (and other insects) out of our homes!🕷️These life hacks are not only easy to do but they also make my home smell amazing! 1. Add 5-10 drops of peppermint or tea tree oil to a cup of water in a spray bottle and spray around your windows and doors to deter the insects - they dislike the smell of both of these oils! 2. Add the recommended dose of orange oil to the water for your particular mop. I use a Vileda spray mop so I added 15-20 drops - again insects dislike this scent but for us it’s not too over powering like peppermint and tea tree so it’s perfect for larger surfaces like your floors! 🍊 3. Dot cinnamon sticks around your home - spiders also dislike the smell of cinnamon so I was quick to pop one on my bedside table! You can also do this with conkers but I chose not to do this one as it would be dangerous for my toddler! I’ve linked the essential oils on my Amazon storefront which is linked in my bio 😊 - As always please do your research when using essential oils if you have pets as not all can be used ❤️ . #cleaninghacks #lifehacks #cleaningaccount #instaclean #cleaningtips | Anna Louisa ✨ Home & Cleaning Content Creator

I have linked my diffuser in my bio too 🫶🏼1. Make a simmer pot using 2 sliced lemons, 2 - 3 sprigs of rosemary and 1tsp cloves to 2 cups of water. Flies, bugs and spiders dislike all of these scents but together they make the most amazing aroma that will fill your whole home as you leave it simmering. 2. Add a few drops of lavender essential oil to a furniture pad and stick it to the lid of your bin to keep them away as they also dislike the scent of lavender.3. Keep them out of your bedroom at night by adding a few drops of lavender essential oil to your room diffuser. The lavender scent will fill the room helping us to sleep while encouraging any flies, bugs and spiders to leave!.#cleaninghacks #cleaningtips #homehacks #lifehacks #cleaningnotivation | Anna Louisa At Home

2.4M views · 122K reactions | DIY Tomato Cage Fall Tree 🍁🧡 I am so in love with the way this turned out! These are great indoor and outdoor. Plus you can order a bunch of these garlands for such a good price. I think I want to make another one, and pair them together! I removed the bottom part of the tomato cage so that I could keep the tree looking full. I used 5 garlands, and it gave good coverage. I came through and added some fall stems, not really to fill in holes, but to make the tree look more realistic and I LOVE IT! I also zip tied each end of my garlands to the cage to keep them in place. 🍁🍁 Comment SHOP below to receive a DM with the link to shop this post on my LTK! https://liketk.it/4L4zW | Cherish Larsen - Seasonal/Holiday Favorites! | Oskar Schuster · The Pumpkin's Song (Menu Theme)

(DIY Bug Repellent) | By Brooklyn B | Pour some super glue in the middle of a saucer and just spread this around with a little paint brush it comes with. Now grab a large ceramic planter and push down to set it into the glue. Use gorilla glue or E six thousand. Then grab a smaller planter. And put that in the bottom of the planter. And then add some more super glue. Right to the top of that planter. Next grab another ceramic planter and put it right on top and give this a push as well. Next I have some beach pebble. Start with a handful and drop some down the pot. Add them up to that line. Next grab some cheap coffee. And pour that right in the middle pot. Just level that out. Now I've got some lemons and just make sure they're sliced thick and put them right in the pot. You want them right on top of the rocks. I used one lemon for this. That looks great. And now add some lime. Now grab some peppermint and scatter some in. This is from my garden. Alright now take a couple drops of lavender essential oil and drop it into the coffee grinds. I don't know if you've ever had a lavender latte but it smells a whole lot like that and next, take some lighter fluid and pour some right into the grinds. So, now you just want to light this and this is a beautiful mosquito and bug repellent. It'll pick up the scents of the lemon, lime, peppermint, lavender, pretty much all the things that mosquitoes and bugs hate and it looks absolutely breathtaking on a little patio table outside. Smells absolutely delicious and I just love that this is all natural ingredients, no chemicals, and just looks amazing everyone. This will keep the bug out. Hope you all enjoy and happy summer.

Sara 🌱 Fameflower Farm on Instagram: "Pesticide made from mint and oregano?! That’s right! One of the ways I protect my plants from an invasion of pests is this natural pesticide. I learned about it from the Jadam method of organic agriculture. In that book, this is referred to as Jadam Natural Pesticide (“JNP”). The Jadam organic farming book is one of my favorites! It was translated from Korean to English but has so many great ideas. Comment BOOK if you want me to send you the link to it. JNP can be made with many different plants or herbs, but I happen to have an abundance of mint and oregano, so that’s what I use. To boil them down, all that’s needed is a pot filled with the herb then covered with water. Simmer at a low boil for about 20-30 minutes then strain into a clean glas
