Citronella essential oil has a spicy, slightly anti-septic lemon scent. It is perfect for diffusing in a guest cloakroom or in a small conservatory or greenhouse to ward off mosquitoes, midges and gnats and to prevent musty odors.



If you want to make a diffuser, you will need to find a place that sells the diffuser sticks or, you can use Popsicle sticks (these can be found in any craft store) and a decorative glass bottle. (See above for quantity)

Place the essential oil in bottle of choice and then place in sticks, arranging accordingly. Place in open area to diffuser inside a compact area. It usually last approximately 6 weeks before the bottle of essential oil runs dry.

Once finished, discard wooden diffuser sticks. (By Laurie Uzee 10/9/2010)
