These handmade mosquito repellent candles are not only easy to install, but the materials and ingredients required are also refreshing.
Here is a step by step guide:
Start by chopping up the lemon and lime (this will be enough to make two candles).
Add a few slices of each—lemon and lime—to the jar. This not only works as a repellant, but it imparts a lovely citrus scent.
Follow that up by adding a few sprigs of fresh basil. Basil, with its strong scent, is a known mosquito repellent.
Now fill the jar with water until it almost reaches the thread of the jar at the top as shown.
Next, insert 10 to 15 drops of lemon essential oil into the mixture. The refreshing citrus scent effectively repels mosquitoes.
Stir the contents of the jar well to mix all the ingredients.
Now it's time to place a floating candle on top.
Finally, light the candle and voila! Homemade mosquito repellent is ready to work its magic!
