LAVENDER FLOWER BUDS

Lavender is a natural moth and flea repellant as well as a natural relaxant and stress reliever.

To use as a moth repellant, simply place lavender sachets in drawers, closets, and trunks, or wherever you store natural fabrics. It works as good as moth balls and smells wonderful.

To use as a flea repellant:

Bring a quart of water to boiling. Pour it over 3 tablespoons lavender flowers, and let it steep until cool. Transer to a spray bottle and spray pets and their sleeping areas.
