Citrus Oil for Insect & Pest Control

This is from ThriftyFun

'Make citrus oil to keep aphids, white flies, fire ants and mosquitoes away! Soak the rinds of 2 orange peels in 1 gallon of water (closed) for about 10 days. Strain out the rinds/peels and store in mason jars until ready to use. If you will be applying to fire ant mounds, apply full strength. If spraying on plants, dilute 2 ounces of citrus oil with one gallon of water to avoid burning plants.'"
