Ant Repellent Spray:

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle.

Add 10 drops of peppermint essential oil.

Spray around windowsills, baseboards, and doorways to repel ants.

Cockroach Deterrent:

Sprinkle baking soda and sugar in equal parts along baseboards or under sinks.

Roaches are attracted to the sugar but die after consuming the baking soda.

Mix 1 cup of water with 10 drops each of citronella and lavender essential oil.

Spray onto curtains, near doors, and around windows to deter mosquitoes.

Natural Air Freshener & Fly Repellent:

Simmer lemon peels, cloves, and bay leaves in water for 15 minutes.

Let the scent fill your home, naturally repelling flies.

Diatomaceous Earth Powder:

Lightly sprinkle in corners, under furniture, and near entryways.

It’s harmless to humans and pets but deadly to insects that crawl through it.
