Vegetable oil
Soap
Distilled vinegar
A container for mixing
A spray bottle for application
Step-by-Step Guide:
Mixing Your Solution: In your container, combine equal parts of vegetable oil, soap, and distilled vinegar. The oil suffocates pests, the soap breaks down their protective layers, and the vinegar acts as a natural deterrent.
Blend Well: Stir the ingredients thoroughly to ensure they meld into a potent mixture.
Transfer to Spray Bottle: Pour your DIY pest control solution into a spray bottle. This makes it easy and convenient for application anywhere you need.
Versatile Usage:
Outdoor Application: Target areas around your home where pests are a problem. Spray around entryways, windows, and doorways to create a barrier that repels these intruders.
Indoor Defense: For cockroaches and other indoor pests, spray the solution in hiding spots like cracks, crevices, and along baseboards. Regular application in these areas can discourage them from settling in.
Personal Repellent: If you’re heading outside, lightly mist your skin or clothing with the solution. It can act as a mosquito repellent, keeping you bite-free. Remember to avoid contact with your eyes and sensitive skin areas.
