Directions:
Mix 1/2 cup shampoo, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1/2 cup white vinegar in a bowl or container.
Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Transfer the solution to a clean spray bottle.
Spray this spray in areas where insects are common, such as near doors, windows, and in corners of the kitchen.
This spray is effective because the shampoo helps the mixture adhere to surfaces, the vegetable oil creates a barrier that insects don’t like to cross, and the vinegar acts as a natural repellent.
Additional tips for avoiding insects
While these methods are effective at repelling insects, it’s also essential to take preventative measures to prevent them from returning.
Keep spaces clean: Make sure your home, especially the kitchen, is clean and free of food debris. Flies and cockroaches are attracted to food and standing water, so clean surfaces promptly and don’t leave food out in the open.
Avoid standing water: Mosquitoes breed in standing water, so remove any buildup of water
