Introduction:
As the weather warms up, pests like bed bugs, fleas, and moths can become more prevalent in our homes. If you're looking for a natural and effective way to tackle these unwelcome visitors, I've discovered a trick that works wonders. It's not only easy to prepare but also uses ingredients you probably already have at home. Say goodbye to harsh chemicals and embrace a more eco-friendly approach to pest control this season.
Ingredients:
1 cup of white vinegar
1 cup of water
10-15 drops of lavender essential oil (optional for fragrance)
1 tablespoon of baking soda
A spray bottle
A small bowl
Directions:
In a small bowl, mix together the water, white vinegar, and baking soda. Stir gently until the baking soda dissolves completely.
Add the lavender essential oil if you'd like to give the spray a pleasant scent while still maintaining its bug-repelling properties.
Pour the mixture into the spray bottle and secure the lid tightly.
Shake the bottle gently to ensure everything is well mixed.
Now, spray the mixture generously on areas where you suspect bed bugs, fleas, or moths might be hiding—such as along baseboards, under furniture, and in cracks or crevices.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: This solution is intended for use in your home, targeting specific areas where pests might be. It's effective for regular maintenance or as a treatment when an infestation is noticed.
Storage: Store the spray in a cool, dry place when not in use. Shake the bottle before each application to ensure the ingredients are mixed well.
