Howdy all! Just wondering the best method of mone storage. I keep my house at a nice 74 degrees f no matter how hot the sun is blazing outside, and I have a nice cool, dark, guest bathroom that sees little traffic…
But I was curious… does anyone here store them in the fridge? Is that the best method?
Cool dark place. I’ve found a rubbermaid container under the bed works for me. Biggest enemy is sunlight followed by evaporation if the lids aren’t tight. Togos left in a car console can evaporate even if the lids are tight. Refrigeration is probably overkill and hard to explain to ‘innocent bystanders’.
Just sittin around in the dark of my phero room in the tropical Australian summer heat has not lessened the effects of my numerous pheromone formulas and mixes and some of them are many years old.
I think direct sunlight will cause deterioration of the pheros and also being exposed to the air without the caps secured.
Also i have had some 1/2 dozen mixes in 5 ml to go sprayers sittin around in the console of my car during the hottest of Australian summer days heat and even after a few seasons exposure they have not evapourated or lost their potiency.
Maby there is heat involved in the manufacture of the pheromone crystals and also formulations ect.
The only precautions i take is to keep them outa the direct sunlight and i keep the caps secure and also when distributing and mixing i use clean droppers and storage containers and do not have the mones exposed for any lemgth of time to the atmosphere…
The only one i ever kept in my refrigerator was 30 mls of Liquid Trust and even after 3 years it was still potient when i used around 4 sprays.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I noticed that my TUTH started to lose its -none smell and now it smells just like regular neroli. But the potency is still there.
