Fill each jar halfway with water.
Add 3–4 slices of lemon and lime to each jar.
Add Fresh Herbs:
Toss in a handful of rosemary or mint sprigs for added repellent power.
Add Essential Oils:
Add 5–10 drops of your chosen essential oils (e.g., lemon eucalyptus, lavender, or citronella) to each jar.
Optional: Add a Candle for Outdoor Use:
Place a floating tea candle on top of the water.
Light the candle to activate the oils and deter bugs even more effectively.
Place the Jars:
Indoors: Put jars near windows, doors, or areas where bugs enter.
Outdoors: Place on patios, picnic tables, or around seating areas to keep bugs away.
Why This Trick Works:
Citrus Scent: Bugs like mosquitoes and flies hate the smell of citrus.
Herbs: Fresh rosemary and mint naturally repel a variety of insects.
