Ingredients:
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
10 drops of peppermint essential oil (or eucalyptus/lavender)
1 tablespoon baking soda
Optional: 1 teaspoon liquid soap (like Castile soap) for extra sticking power
Instructions:
Mix water and vinegar in a spray bottle.
Add baking soda carefully (it may fizz).
Add essential oil drops and soap (if using).
Shake gently to combine.
How to Use: 🪳 Spray in corners, under furniture, near trash bins, baseboards, windowsills, and around door frames.
🍋 For fruit flies, spray near sinks and fruit bowls.
🛏 For bed bugs, spray around the mattress edges, cracks, and seams daily.
How It Works: Baking soda absorbs moisture, making it inhospitable for dust mites and bedbugs. It can also help neutralize odors from droppings.
How to Use It:
Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda over the mattress and leave it for 2-3 hours.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to thoroughly remove the baking soda and dead mites.
Repeat every 1-2 weeks for best results.
2. Essential Oils:
Certain essential oils have natural insect-repellent properties that are effective against dust mites and bedbugs.
Recommended Oils: Tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil, lavender oil, and peppermint oil.
How to Use:
Mix 10-15 drops of your chosen essential oil with 1 cup of water in a spray bottle.
Lightly mist the mattress, ensuring it does not become overly damp.
Allow the mattress to air dry completely before making the bed.
3. Steam Cleaning:
High temperatures can kill both dust mites and bedbugs, including their eggs.
How to Use:
Use a handheld steam cleaner to treat the entire mattress, focusing on seams, edges, and crevices.
Let the mattress dry completely before covering it with bedding.
4. Diatomaceous Earth (DE):Natural Ways to Eliminate Dust Mites and Bedbugs
Why Use DE?
DE is a non-toxic, natural powder from fossilized algae that dehydrates pests like dust mites and bedbugs without harmful chemicals.
For Dust Mites
How it works: DE dehydrates and kills dust mites on contact.
Application: Sprinkle food-grade DE on mattresses, pillows, and carpets. Leave for 4–6 hours, then vacuum.
Repeat: Weekly for best results.
For Bedbugs
How it works: DE destroys bedbugs by penetrating their exoskeletons.
Application: Dust lightly on mattress seams, bed frames, and cracks. Leave for 24–48 hours, then vacuum.
Reapply: As needed for stubborn infestations.
