DIY Citronella Eggshell Candles
But our patio isn’t just a place to eat, drink and be merry with friends and family though. It also happens to be the place for blood sucking pests to linger and lounge and make your grilled salmon dinners miserable.
One easy way to keep those pesky insects at bay is by dousing yourself with insect repellents containing N-diethyl-meta-toluamide or most commonly known as DEET. Of course convenience doesn’t always equal best.
A much better alternative would be to make these beautifully rustic eggshell candles with added citronella essential oil to ward those blood suckers away.
