How to use it:

Ingredients:
How to use it:
Shake and spray into cracks, under appliances, inside cupboards, and around drains — any place cockroaches like to hide.

Borax dehydrates cockroaches, and clove is a natural insect repellent they hate.
⚠️ Tip: Keep this mix out of reach of kids and pets — borax should not be ingested.
Ingredients:
How to use it:
Shake before each use (it settles quickly). Spray lightly onto mattresses, headboards, bed frames, and corners where bed bugs might hide. Let it dry.

Diatomaceous earth is a natural powder that pierces the bugs’ exoskeleton, causing dehydration.
⚠️ Avoid breathing in the fine powder — use in a ventilated space and wear a mask if needed.
Ingredients:
How to use it:
