Tired of flies, mosquitoes, and other pesky insects invading your kitchen? This easy homemade trap is incredibly effective—and you only need 3 simple ingredients you already have at home!
🧴 Ingredients:
- ½ cup vinegar (white or apple cider vinegar)
- ½ cup olive oil (or any vegetable oil)
- ½ cup liquid shampoo (mild, non-toxic type)
🧪 Why It Works:
- Vinegar attracts insects with its strong scent.
- Shampoo breaks the surface tension, causing insects to sink.
- Oil traps and suffocates them once they land.
Together, they create a sticky, sweet-smelling solution that lures and eliminates insects quickly—without toxic sprays or chemicals.
🧼 How to Make & Use:
- Mix all ingredients in a wide, shallow bowl or small container.
- Stir gently to combine.
- Place the bowl on your kitchen counter, windowsill, or near fruit—anywhere you see insect activity.
- Leave uncovered. Replace every 1–2 days for best results.
🏠 Tips for Best Results:
- Place multiple bowls around the house if needed.
- Use near garbage bins, fruit baskets, or sink areas.
- Keep away from pets or small children (non-toxic but still not for eating).
✅ Safe, Natural, and Effective
This trick works within minutes and continues to trap flies, mosquitoes, gnats, and other flying pests throughout the day. No harsh fumes, no electricity—just a smart blend of common ingredients.
