How to make a jar to repel mosquitoes?

Making a mosquito repellent jar with natural ingredients can be a pleasant way to protect your home or outdoor space from mosquitoes. Here is a simple guide to making a mosquito repellent jar.

In a glass jar, you can place water and a floating candle. Furthermore, essential oils such as citronella, eucalyptus, lavender, cedarwood, rosemary are useful as well as lemon and lime slices and lavender flowers. You can also use decorative elements such as pebbles or shells for the bottom of the jar.

This natural mosquito repellent jar is a simple and beautiful way to protect your environment from mosquitoes, while enjoying the pleasant scents of the herbs and oils.

Although a jar with rosemary, lemon, lime, lavender, cedarwood or lemon can spread a pleasant scent and repel mosquitoes to some extent, it will probably not be as effective as commercially available mosquito repellents.
