Moth Repellant Sachets

I had a mother in law that used to throw a ton of moth balls all over the attic every year, not understanding that not only did it make the kids' asthma flare up badly, but that I was allergic to them. None of us could wear clothes that she stored without washing them ten or more times and sunning them for days. Normal cedar balls work great, but can be hard to find sometimes.


Ingredients:
50/50 rosemary and mint
or
1 part dried lavender, 1 part rosemary, 1/2 part dried lemon peel, 1 tablespoon cloves
or
1 part whole cloves, 1 part whole peppercorns, 2 – 4 cinnamon sticks broken in pieces
or
1 part dried lavender, 1 part dried lemon peel, 1 broken cinnamon stick
or
1 part cedar shavings, 1 part thyme
or
1 part peppermint, 1 part spearmint, 1 part rosemary, 1/2 part thyme

Any combination of the above should do you just fine. You can make sachets to stash in drawers, trunks or hang in closets out of pretty cotton fabrics, plain cheesecloth, muslin, linen or clean nylons. Replace annually.
