FAQ
Q: Are these methods safe around pets and kids?
A: Yes, when used properly. Avoid direct contact with diatomaceous earth and store sprays out of reach. Essential oils should also be used cautiously around cats.
Q: How often should I apply these remedies?
A: For best results, apply the spray every few days, refresh fruit fly traps twice a week, and re-treat bed bug areas weekly until pests are gone.
Q: Does vinegar really kill insects?
A: Vinegar doesn’t kill all insects, but it repels many due to its strong smell and acidity. It also destroys scent trails, especially for ants and roaches.
Q: What if the infestation is severe?
A: These remedies are ideal for prevention and mild infestations. For major pest problems, consult a licensed exterminator.
Q: Can I combine these methods?
A: Absolutely — using the spray for roaches and diatomaceous earth for bed bugs at the same time is an effective, all-around approach.
