Add citrus peel (like lemon or orange) for extra insect-repelling power and a pleasant scent.
Use lavender oil for a calming scent that also repels moths and flies.
For tougher pest problems, replace white vinegar with apple cider vinegar, which has a stronger scent.
FAQs
Q: Is this safe for pets and children?
A: Yes, when used in small amounts and in well-ventilated areas. Avoid spraying directly on toys or pet bedding.

Q: How long does the smell last?
A: The scent typically lingers for 1–2 days, depending on ventilation. Reapply as needed.
