Homemade Insect Repellent Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup vinegar (white or apple cider)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil (or any other vegetable oil)
  • 1/2 cup shampoo (any brand will do)

Instructions:

  1. Mix the ingredients: In a bowl, combine the vinegar, olive oil, and shampoo. Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are thoroughly blended.
  2. Transfer to a bottle: Pour the mixture into a spray bottle or container with a tight seal for easy application.
  3. Place in the kitchen (or any room): Set the bottle in your kitchen or anywhere in your home where flies, mosquitoes, or insects are a problem. You can also spray it lightly on surfaces or doorways where insects tend to enter.
  4. Reapply as needed: If you notice the scent fading, shake the bottle and reapply the solution to maintain its effectiveness.

This simple, natural mixture works by repelling insects with the strong smell of vinegar, while the oil and shampoo help the solution stick to surfaces longer.

Enjoy your insect-free kitchen!
