to color the water. You will know you put enough Thieves cleaner in the bottle when the insects scatter when you spray your
vege's and such.
Growing tomatoes - in Florida - and no worms and no aphids and the grasshoppers leave too.
This spray also works on rose bushes and squash plants.

For the house and garden insect spray.
3 drops spearmint
3 drops orange
2 qts water
Mix and spray on plants in the house and outside and in greenhouse to keep
the bugs and aphids away. Also diffuse in the greenhouse. And for those
that use a swamp cooler put lemon in, to keep the fungus at bay. That way
you don't have to use chemicals.
Ants:
One thing that I have found that really works great on ants of any kind is
peppermint.
I have had ants that kept coming into the house through the front door.
So I put peppermint clear across the door seal and as I was doing this, here
came an ant on high, just as he got close to where I put the peppermint he
reared up on his hind legs and his antennas were waving back and forth and
he pivoted and went the other direction.

MIx 10 drops each lavendar and
rosemary essential oil in 2 quarts salt water,

10 drops peppermint
5 drops cypress
1/2 cup water
Shake well and spray where they run and live

Hornet Sting Testimonial:
Hello! I am new to your Young living group and wish to share that today
I received a hornet sting on one of my fingers. Just as realized what
had happened, I ran upstairs and grabbed my bottle of YLEO lavender and
used one neat drop on the painful and swelling finger. Immediately, the
pain subsided and within 10 minutes, the swelling went down. I cannot
imagine living without my oils!

Wasp or Bee Stings
Many people are deathly allergic to any wasp or bee stings, literally. Many need to go
to the hospital within minutes of being bitten for treatment.
Wasp Sting Testimonial:
About a month ago I was out in the yard working and was bitten
by a wasp. I immediately ran inside and put two drops of purification on
the bite. Waited about five minutes and did this again. Within ten
minutes the pain went away and I had no reaction to the sting. It was
unbelievable. I totally put my trust in these oils. I have never
experienced anything like this with any other product. Now I'm not so
worried about being stung. I don't want to be :) mind you, but I know
now that I will be okay and not need emergency care.

Insect Repellents
Peppermint has been great for me.
I just rub it all over my head and my arms and legs and they never light on me.
purification and the Idaho tansy
oil is good, plus the Sunsation suntan oil is great.
For animals I have used the peppermint floral water
by adding 30 drops of peppermint to it and spraying my
horses with it. It keeps the flies off longer then the chemical spray you wipe on the horses.

Lemon,
peppermint,
Eucalyptus radiata, and
Lemongrass.,
Horse-fly repellent:

Natural weed killer:
One of the newest products is Perfectly Natural Weed & Grass Killer, which uses two well-known organic weed killers:
clove oil and vinegar. This fast-acting (dieback begins within 1 hour after spraying) formula is safe for the environment and
effective on a range of weeds, such as dandelions, clover, chickweed, plantain, and annual bluegrass. Perennial weeds
require a repeat application in 3 to 5 days. The product comes in two ready-to-spray sizes so there's no mixing.
Also found at WalMart & K-Mart.
NOTE: this is a NON-selective herbicide (like RoundUp), which means it will kill most anything it contacts.
Ingredients:
Clove Oil 8%
Vinegar 90% (Maximum 8% Acetic Acid in solution)
Lecithin 2%
