2 cups dried pennyroyal
1 cup dried wormwood
1 cup dried lavender

Combine the herbs in a bowl and lightly crush them. Add the orris root powder.
Stuff the bag with the herbs and sew the top shut.
Put into your pet’s bed or sleeping area.
Check every two months or so to see if the herbs need replacing.
