In the bottom half of the bottle, pour in about one cup of rice vinegar or white wine vinegar. Vinegar acts as a natural deterrent for many types of insects due to its strong smell, which is unappealing to them.

Add Dishwashing Liquid: Add a generous squirt (around a tablespoon) of dishwashing liquid to the vinegar. The soap acts to break the surface tension of the liquid, making it more effective at trapping insects.

Set the Trap: Invert the top half of the bottle (the funnel part) and place it into the bottom half, creating a trap. Insects attracted by the vinegar scent will enter the funnel and be unable to escape.

Place Strategically: Position your homemade repellent in areas where you notice flies, mosquitoes, or other insects congregating. Kitchens, patios, and dining areas are common hotspots.
