Prepare the Solution:

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of water with 10–15 drops of your chosen essential oils.

Add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar if desired, and stir well.

Transfer to Spray Bottle:

Pour the mixture into a clean spray bottle, shaking well before each use to ensure even distribution.

Application:

Generously spray the solution around areas where pests are commonly found, such as windowsills, doorways, kitchen counters, under sinks, and baseboards.

Focus on dark, damp areas that attract pests.

Let It Work:

Allow the solution to sit for at least 1 hour.

Reapply every few days or after cleaning to maintain effectiveness.

Why This Works:

Essential oils contain compounds that interfere with the sensory systems of insects, making areas treated with these oils uninhabitable for pests. For instance, citronella oil is known to repel mosquitoes effectively.

Additional Tips:

Herbal Additions: Placing fresh sprigs of mint, basil, or lemongrass near entry points can enhance repellent effects.

Citrus Peels: Rubbing orange or lemon peels along entryways can deter ants and roaches.

DIY Sachets: Fill small fabric bags with dried lavender, cloves, or bay leaves and place them in drawers or closets.

By incorporating these natural methods, you can create an environment that is unwelcoming to pests without relying on chemical repellents.
