Control ants by spraying along entry points like cracks or doorways.
🦋 For Outdoors:
- Spray on patio furniture, garden plants, and around doorways to create a protective barrier against mosquitoes and other pests.
- Use in your garden to keep unwanted bugs away from your plants without harming beneficial insects like bees and butterflies.
🌼 For Personal Use:
- Spray your skin lightly (away from the face) for a safe, natural mosquito repellent when outdoors.
- Avoid spraying directly on fabrics that may stain, but it can be applied lightly to clothes for added protection.
💡 Tips for Maximum Effectiveness:
- Store your repellent in a cool, dark place when not in use to preserve the effectiveness of the essential oils.
- Use a dark-colored spray bottle if possible, as essential oils are sensitive to light and may lose potency over time when exposed to sunlight.
- Shake the bottle before each use since the oils may separate from the water over time.
- Test for sensitivity before applying the spray to your skin by doing a patch test to ensure you’re not allergic to any of the oils used.
