Homemade MOSQUITO REPELLANT * in a decorative jar or spray * LEMON PINE SOL * HERBS *

I've read many tips on how to make a homemade mosquito repellant ~ sprays, floating candles, and other ideas.  I combined ALL of them to make this jar of mosquito repellant to keep on my patio (but could even keep it inside) ~ just be sure to put it out of reach of toddlers or animals (who might want to drink it). 

For some reason, mosquitos seem to hate Lemon Pine Sol, so invest the few extra cents and get the real thing ~ it's still really inexpensive and you can always use it to clean with!

Homemade MOSQUITO REPELLANT in a JAR

​I used a clean glass pickle jar................................................2 fresh limes, sliced
​about 1-1/2 cups Lemon Pine Sol........................................about 1-1/2 cups water
10-15 whole cloves...................................................................1-2 sprigs fresh rosemary

​The important measurement here is equal parts water with Lemon Pine Sol!  I put the water and Lemon Pine Sol into my jar, and stirred to mix.  Then dropped in the lime slices, cloves and rosemary.   It actually looks like a decorative jar (and you could add more rosemary sprigs to make a mini-bouquet in there).
