Homemade Insect Repellent for Your Kitchen

Are you tired of dealing with flies, mosquitoes, and other pesky insects invading your kitchen? Say goodbye to those uninvited guests with a simple homemade insect repellent that requires just three common ingredients. The best part? No harsh chemicals needed!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup vinegar (white or apple cider vinegar) – Attracts flies and insects.
  • 1/2 cup olive oil (or any vegetable oil) – Creates a barrier that traps insects.
  • 1/2 cup shampoo – Breaks the surface tension, making the mixture more effective.

How to Make It:

  1. Pour the vinegar, oil, and shampoo into a bowl or jar.
  2. Stir gently to mix the ingredients (don’t shake).
  3. Place the bowl in your kitchen, near fruit bowls, windows, or wherever insects gather.
  4. Watch as flies, mosquitoes, and bugs get trapped and disappear!

Why This Works:

  • Vinegar attracts insects – They are drawn to the smell.
  • Oil traps them – Once they land, they can’t escape.
  • Shampoo breaks the surface tension – Insects sink and get trapped in the liquid.

Extra Tips:

  • Replace the mixture every few days for the best results.
  • Use multiple bowls if insects are a big problem.
  • Add a few drops of essential oil (like lemon or peppermint) for an extra fresh scent.

This DIY insect trap is effective, chemical-free, and super easy to make! Simply place it in your kitchen and watch flies, mosquitoes, and pests vanish for good. Give it a try today! 👌✨
