Carolina Dean recently posted this to the Hoodoo and Conjure Quarterly group on Facebook.  It was offered in response to someone who needed to banish a discordant person from their life.  However, as Dean states below, the same spell can be used to banish nearly anything.

Greetings, Aurors!

To do it right, you should have the Water Sprinkler made of the nine herbs: vervain, fennel, lavender, sage, valerian, mint, garden-basil, rosemary, and hyssop. Plus of course you’ll need some Holy Water to use [...]
