Storing Your Mosquito Repellent
Store your mosquito repellent in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Essential oils can degrade when exposed to light and heat, so keeping your spray bottle in a shaded area will prolong its effectiveness. Shake the bottle gently before each use to ensure the ingredients are well mixed.
