Use on a Regular Basis: For continuous protection, use the spray at least once a week or more often if you live in a high-pest area.
Keep Away from Children and Pets: Although this solution is natural, it’s always a good idea to keep it out of reach of young children and pets to avoid any accidental exposure.
Store in a Cool, Dry Place: The solution can be stored for several weeks, but make sure to shake the bottle before each use to ensure the oils are evenly distributed.
Variations
For Extra Strength: Add more essential oil drops for a stronger scent and pest-repelling effect. Eucalyptus and peppermint oils are particularly good for driving away insects and bedbugs.
Add Lemon or Citronella: For added freshness and pest-repelling power, you can mix in a few drops of lemon or citronella essential oil.
For a Dryer-Friendly Option: After spraying the mixture, you can leave the solution to dry on window railings. This makes it less likely to be wiped off by rain or wind, providing longer-lasting protection.
