Flea Treatment: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray directly on pets’ bedding, carpets, and furniture where fleas hide. Add a few drops of peppermint oil for added repellent effect. Vacuum thoroughly after treatment.

Ant Deterrent: Sprinkle diatomaceous earth along ant trails and entry points. Clean surfaces with a mixture of lemon juice and water to erase scent trails ants use to navigate.

Cockroach Control: Mix boric acid powder with sugar and a bit of water to form a paste. Apply this paste in cracks, under sinks, and near baseboards. Cockroaches will ingest the boric acid and die. Use dish soap and water to clean areas where cockroaches are spotted regularly.

Regular Cleaning: Maintain a clean home by sweeping, vacuuming, and wiping surfaces daily. Keep food sealed and garbage disposed of promptly.

Preventive Measures: Seal cracks and holes, fix leaking pipes, and reduce moisture buildup in kitchens and bathrooms.
