How to Make the Lethal Insect Mixture:
- Mix Vinegar and Water – In a spray bottle, combine 1 cup of white vinegar with 1 cup of water.
- Add Baking Soda – Slowly add 2 tablespoons of baking soda (it will fizz slightly, so pour carefully).
- Incorporate Dish Soap – Add 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap and shake well.
- Add Essential Oils – Drop in 10 drops each of peppermint oil and tea tree oil for added repellency.
- Enhance with Extra Repellents – If desired, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or citrus peels to intensify the effect.
- Shake Well – Ensure all ingredients are well combined before use.
How to Use It Effectively:
- For Cockroaches: Spray directly on visible cockroaches and in areas they frequent (under the sink, behind appliances, in cabinets).
- For Ants: Apply along ant trails, entry points, and where food is stored.
- For Mosquitoes: Spray on window screens, door frames, and around outdoor sitting areas.
- For Fruit Flies and Other Insects: Mist kitchen surfaces, garbage bins, and drains to deter insects from breeding.
Additional Prevention Tips:
- Keep the house clean and dry – Insects thrive in clutter and damp environments.
- Seal cracks and entry points – Close gaps in doors, windows, and walls to prevent entry.
- Store food properly – Keep food in sealed containers to avoid attracting pests.
- Empty garbage regularly – Avoid buildup of waste that could attract insects.
