Flies and insects can be very annoying and it is very important to keep them away as they can transmit diseases.
In this article we explain how to prepare a simple oil-based candle, with natural components capable of repelling flies and insects.
You will need: a jar with a metal lid, a clove, citronella oil, a piece of burlap (for the wick).
- Get a jar with a metal lid and wash it well
- Poke a hole in the lid of the jar with a nail.
