Use the spray liberally in areas where insects are most active, such as near open windows, doors, or kitchen areas.
Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
Store in a cool, dark place to preserve the essential oils.
This natural repellent can be stored for up to two weeks at room temperature.
Variations
If you have a specific insect issue (like mosquitoes), try adding lemongrass or tea tree oil to your mixture for extra potency.
For a sweeter scent, mix in a few drops of orange or lemon essential oil.
If you prefer a non-spray option, you can make a sachet by adding a few drops of essential oil to cotton balls and placing them near windows or doorways.
FAQ
How often should I apply the repellent?
It depends on the severity of the infestation. For a light infestation, apply once a day. For more persistent insects, reapply every few hours.
Can I use this on my skin?
Yes, but always do a patch test first to ensure no allergic reaction. The addition of glycerin helps protect your skin from dryness.
Can I use this around pets?
While these ingredients are natural, some essential oils can be toxic to pets, particularly cats. Always consult with a vet before using it around animals.
