Lavender, Cedar and Citronella are all essential oils that have known insect repelling properties.
Plus they all smell nice.
1) Get a big handful of lavender flowers, place them onto a 3" square of muslin (cheesecloth).
2) Mix ~10ml (2 teaspoons) each of cedar oil, citronella oil (substitute with lemon, lime or grapefruit if you prefer), and of lavender oil (pure ones) and drip as much as you want to onto the flowers. Use this oil to refresh the flowers from time to time.
3) If you can get some (it is not easy to find anymore) get some camphor balls, and place one in the middle of the bundle.
4) Pinch the corners together, and tie it all closed with string or ribbon.
5) Make a loop of the leftover string.
6) Hang in the wardrobes.

In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
