Oregano .. any of the Carvacrol rich Origanums .. and Rosemary, Cineole

(Rosmarinus officinalis) .. and Sage .. any of the Salvias will do the job.

 

I've got a lot of costly hunting clothes that I keep in a closet I made in

our barn .. it can get damp in there and like any barn there are lots of 6

and 8 laig creeping critters. I use both the herbs from our garden and the

essential oils. Works like a charm it does.

Butch,

What's your mode of application? Hang the herbs or scatter on the floor? Are

the EOs applied to the herbs as they wane (like a potpourri)? On cotton balls

distributed throughout? I'm assuming you do not apply them to the hunting

clothes themselves. *grin*

 

Thanks for the input!

Thanks Butch! I have a lot of those right in my garden! I'm going to go

harvest and try everything and see how they work! THANK YOU! Sue

Hello Butch,

Wish I was using eo's in 1969-70, the full duffle from 'Nam, sure stank! I told

him to take all the clothes to the base laundry/cleaners and to keep processing

till the stink was gone.........
