Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is this spray safe for children and pets?
A: Yes, if you stick to essential oils like lavender or citronella and avoid harsher add-ins like boric acid. Always keep it out of reach and use in well-ventilated areas.
Q: How long does the spray last?
A: The aroma will linger for a few hours, but the pest-repelling effect can last up to a day. Reapply as needed.
Q: Can I use this spray on my skin as mosquito repellent?
A: This mix is meant for surfaces. For skin use, try a diluted version with just essential oils and water.
