Instructions: Note: Each ounce of dried herbs is equal to about 2 cups.

Use whole or cut herbs. This mixture can be refreshed by adding fresh oil from time to time.

Make small sachets for small, tidy pets, or stuff the whole amount into a large denim pillow for larger, itchier animal friends. Pennyroyal is especially effective as a flea repellent.

[Karens note: The photo in the magazine shows a gingham bag and a flower-print bag. Both have the top edges pinked, and are tied with ribbon.]
