Q: How long will this repellent last on my skin?
A: The repellent can last for several hours, but it’s best to reapply it after 2-3 hours or if you’ve been sweating or swimming. The oil base helps it stay on your skin longer, but environmental factors may affect its effectiveness.
Q: Is this homemade repellent safe for children and pets?
A: Yes, this repellent is a natural alternative to synthetic chemical repellents and is generally safe for children and pets. However, always use caution when applying it on babies or very young children and avoid direct contact with their eyes. Keep it out of reach of pets to prevent them from ingesting the oils.
Q: Can I use this repellent on my clothes?
A: While this repellent is designed for skin use, you can also lightly apply it to clothing or exposed fabric. However, be cautious as it may stain certain fabrics, especially light-colored clothing.
Q: Can I make a larger batch of this repellent?
A: Absolutely! You can double or triple the ingredients to make a larger batch. Just be sure to store it in a larger container and shake it well before each use. The repellent should still last for several months if stored properly.
Q: Can this homemade repellent repel all insects?
A: While the clove and baby oil repellent is effective against many insects, such as mosquitoes and flies, it may not work as well on other pests like ticks or certain types of ants. For targeted pest control, you may want to use specific repellents designed for those insects.
