Guest guest Posted May 25, 2001 Report Share Posted May 25, 2001 Hi Tracy, Not an essential oil, but wormwood is great stuff to make a 'tea' with for your plants to discourage bugs and rubbing a few leaves together in your hands than rubbing your hands over the parts of your body you want the bugs to stay away with works well, to.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2001 Report Share Posted May 26, 2001 We've found Peppermint to be a good as a general insect repellent. Ants and rodents also dislike it. We've also found the following combination to be effective and pleasant. We make a natural insect repellent with distilled water and Peppermint, Lavender, Eucalyptus and Geranium Essential Oils plus a little vodka to help disperse the oils. I'm not sure how well it would work in the garden but think it would be effective. I'd like some feedback if you try it. Ivan G.
