Natural Ingredients for Pest Control

Some common household items that can be used to deter pests include:

Vinegar: Its strong scent is unappealing to many pests, especially ants.
Baking Soda: When mixed with sugar, it becomes an effective bait for cockroaches.
Essential Oils: Oils like peppermint, lavender, and eucalyptus are great for repelling a variety of insects.

Homemade Natural Insecticide Recipe

Here’s a simple recipe for an all-natural insecticide that’s effective against cockroaches and other pests:

Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of vinegar
- 1/2 cup of water
- 10 drops of peppermint essential oil
- 1 tablespoon of dish soap
Instructions:
1. Mix vinegar and water in a spray bottle.
2. Add the peppermint essential oil and dish soap.
3. Shake well to combine.

This mixture can be sprayed directly on insects or in areas where pests are frequently seen, such as the kitchen, bathroom, basement, and attic. The vinegar and peppermint oil work to repel the pests, while the dish soap helps to suffocate any insects it contacts.
