Filling the Spray Bottle: Transfer the concoction into a clean spray bottle or atomizer to prevent nozzle blockages.
Ensuring a Thorough Mix: Vigorously shake the bottle to blend all components well, a critical step for the solution's effectiveness.
Application: Mist the mixture onto various home surfaces, including entrances, windowsills, and other pest-prone spots. While generally safe, it's wise to conduct a spot check on delicate surfaces.
Maintaining Effectiveness: Reapply the spray regularly, especially post-cleaning or after rainfall if used outside, to sustain its deterrent effect.
