Serving and Storage Tips:
Store the spray in a cool, dark place for up to one week for maximum potency.

Variations:
Substitute eucalyptus oil with citronella, lavender, or tea tree oil for different scents and mosquito-repelling effects.
For an outdoor spray, add a few drops of neem oil for extra insecticidal power.
Omit the dish soap for a gentler spray, though it may be less effective at breaking mosquito breeding cycles.
