Mosquitoes and cockroaches are a constant source of frustration and possible health risks, so dealing with them might feel like an uphill struggle. For those precious moments enjoyed outside, including on patios and balconies, there is a simple but efficient homemade solution that might be your ally in the fight against these unwanted visitors.
All-Natural Pest Repellent Ingredients
Half a cup of vinegar
1/4 cup of olive oil (or any other type of vegetable oil that you want)
1/3 cup of hair wash
Instructions for Setting Up and Using
Mixing the Substances:
For optimal results, combine the shampoo, olive oil, vinegar, and vinegar in a dish. Stir until well combined.
Filling the Spray Bottle: To avoid clogged nozzles, pour the mixture into a fresh spray bottle or atomizer.
For the best results from the solution, make sure to shake the container vigorously to mix all of the ingredients well.
To apply, spritz the concoction onto entryways, windowsills, and other areas of the house that are susceptible to pests. Although it’s usually safe, it’s best to give sensitive surfaces a quick test.
To Keep It Working: Reapply the spray frequently, particularly after cleaning or after it rains if you’re using it outdoors, to keep its deterring impact.
