Storage: Keep the spray in a cool, dark place. If using fresh herbs, refrigerate and use within 1 week. Without herbs, the spray lasts up to 1 month.
Usage: Reapply every 1–2 hours for outdoor activities. Shake before each use to redistribute oils.
Safe zones: Avoid spraying directly onto eyes, cuts, or open wounds. Test on a small skin patch if you have sensitive skin.
Variations:
Citrus Burst Blend: Swap lavender oil for lemongrass or orange essential oil.
Minty Fresh: Add peppermint oil for a cool, refreshing scent and extra bug-fighting power.
Herbal Infusion: Simmer fresh herbs in water for 10 minutes, strain, then mix with witch hazel and oils for a herbal base.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use this on my pets?
A: Not directly. Essential oils can be harmful to pets if ingested or applied incorrectly. Use around pet areas, not on their fur.
Q: Is this safe for kids?
A: Yes, with caution. Always test on a small patch of skin. Avoid spraying near the face.
Q: Does it work as well as chemical sprays?
A: Natural repellents work well in low to moderate pest areas. For heavy infestations or high-risk zones (like areas with known mosquito-borne diseases), consider combining with additional precautions.
Q: Can I use it indoors?
A: Absolutely! Spray near windows, doors, and indoor plants to keep bugs at bay.
