We were taught by one of our K1 friends how to make bug spray (insect repellent) using shell ginger (げっとうの葉). We really enjoyed this two-days project!
He taught us how to make the bug spray. K1s enjoyed cutting the shell ginger leaves. We used lemongrass, myrtle, and mugwort for different aroma.
We boiled the leaves over two days. After cooling, we prepared our spray bottles and put in the bug spray liquid. We were happy to share with Mr. Akiho because he had many bug bites from gardening
We went outside to test our bug spray. Please try our bug spray at home. Please note you can keep it for on 14 day. （２週間以内で使い切るようお願いします。）
