Introduction:
With warmer days ahead, I swear by this trick to getting rid of all the flies, mosquitoes, and bugs. This natural elixir not only keeps pests away but also leaves your home smelling fresh and inviting.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp dish soap (lemon-scented works best)
- 5-10 drops of essential oil (lavender, eucalyptus, or citronella)
- 1 tbsp sugar (optional, for extra effectiveness)
- A spray bottle
Instructions:
- Mix the Base: In a bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, and dish soap. The vinegar attracts the bugs, while the dish soap traps them.
- Add Fragrance: Drop in your essential oil. Not only does this add a pleasant aroma, but oils like lavender and citronella are natural bug repellents.
- Sweeten (Optional): If you’re dealing with particularly stubborn bugs, stir in the sugar. This will further attract them to the mixture.
- Transfer to Spray Bottle: Pour your concoction into a spray bottle for easy application.
- Apply: Spray the mixture around windows, doors, and any areas where flies, mosquitoes, and bugs are common. Reapply every few days or as needed.
Conclusion:
This elixir is a simple, natural solution to keep your space bug-free all summer long. Enjoy the warmer days without the annoyance of pesky insects!
