Insects and Essential Oils

 

Ants

Several drops of Peppermint oil may be sprinkled strategically along

counters and walls to deter ants. It is very important to test

surface area to make sure the oil will not destroy the finish.

Water may be used as a base to make up a spray for areas where ants

like to gather. Add 4 oz. of water into a spritzer bottle and add 20

drops of Peppermint, Citronella or Spearmint oil to give repelling

power.

 

 

Cockroaches

Add a few drops of Citronella to cotton and place in the back of

cupboard. An additional drop of Peppermint or Lemongrass can be added

for extra strength.

 

 

Dust Mites

Mix 5 drops of Eucalyptus oil to the rinse cycle of your washing

machine. Into a spray bottle add 8 oz. methylated spirits and 40

drops Eucalyptus oil. Add 6 oz. water and lightly spray under beds.

 

 

Fleas

Pennyroyal oil is specific against fleas. For a spray, place 20 drops

into a spray bottle and add 4 oz. water. One to two extra drops of

Cedarwood, Citronella, Lemongrass or Lavender may also be added.

Lightly spray your animal (without saturating and avoiding eyes) and

its bedding areas.

 

 

Flies

Place a handful of dried cloves in a bowl and sprinkle with a few

drops of Clove and Lavender, Citronella or Peppermint oil. Recharge

with additional oil from time to time.

 

 

Mice

Add a few drops of Peppermint, Eucalyptus or Spearmint to cotton and

place in the ceiling and anywhere mice might enter the house.

 

 

Moth/Silverfish

Add a few drops of Cedarwood to cotton and place in wardrobes and

drawers. An extra drop of Spearmint, Lavender, Citronella or

Peppermint can be added for reinforcement.

Dear Friends,

 

Need one repel that which is a metaphor of God. Perhaps there is a better way. Consider quietly communicating with the spider that although you respect the beauty of its architectural forms and their evident geometry, it would be most gracious of them to weave elsewhere than in your particular space. You might consider looking around where you live so that you might find an appropriate space. With that in mind, carry the picture and give that image to the spider.

 

Do you see, all life that cannot speak in words communicates in images. To truly hear the words of life, one must forget about himself and remember God. In that sacred space of being, there is no separation between the spider and man. It is as our Indian forbears taught us. We walk within the Body of God and all who dwell within are our little brothers, be they on land, in the sea or in the air.

 

Much Love in Spirit,

 

Stephen
