Let’s be honest:
I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who actually likes having flies buzzing around their kitchen, cockroaches sneaking under cupboards, or mosquitoes biting away during a relaxing summer evening.
Not only are these pests irritating, but they can also carry bacteria and spread diseases. The good news?
👉 You don’t need to spend a fortune on a professional exterminator.
👉 You don’t have to fill your home with harsh, toxic chemicals.
Instead, you can mix up a surprisingly simple recipe that actually works—shared by Effective Pest Control experts and inspired by tried‑and‑true natural remedies.
🧴 What You’ll Need
You only need three everyday ingredients you probably already have at home:
✅ ½ cup vegetable oil (any neutral oil works, like sunflower or canola)
✅ ½ cup shampoo (mild, unscented or even baby shampoo works perfectly)
✅ ½ cup distilled vinegar (white vinegar is ideal)
🧪 How To Make This All‑Natural Pest Deterrent
-
Pour the vegetable oil, shampoo, and vinegar into a mixing bowl.
-
Stir thoroughly until the ingredients are fully blended.
-
Transfer the mixture into a clean spray bottle.
That’s it—you’ve just created a multi‑purpose spray that flies, cockroaches, and mosquitoes can’t stand.
🌿 How To Use It
-
Around the house: Lightly spray corners, under sinks, or anywhere you’ve seen cockroaches or flies.
-
In the garden or patio: Spray on outdoor furniture legs, around doorways, or in areas where mosquitoes gather.
-
On yourself or clothing: Going for a walk or enjoying your garden? A light mist on your arms or pants can help keep mosquitoes away—because the ingredients are gentle and non‑toxic.
💡 Tip: Always shake the spray bottle before each use so the ingredients stay mixed.
✨ Why Does This Work?
-
The vegetable oil creates a slick barrier that pests avoid.
-
The vinegar disrupts their senses and acts as a natural deterrent.
-
The shampoo helps everything blend and stick to surfaces longer.
