Moth Remedy
First option. In a tablespoon of milk, dissolve 10 drops of lavender. Add the mixture to 300 ml of water. In this case, milk serves as a conductor for mixing water and oil. Otherwise, the precious drops will simply float a greasy stain on the surface of the liquid. Now it remains only to wipe the cabinets with this tool.
The second option. We form small balls from a bandage and cotton wool, blot them with this mixture and lay them out in a cupboard.
