How to get rid of mosquitoes, cockroaches, and pests with a simple DIY spray! 🦟🪳❌
If you are dealing with bugs, try mixing this up at home:
1️⃣ Place a camphor tablet in a container.
2️⃣ Add two cinnamon sticks.
3️⃣ Fill the container with rubbing alcohol.
4️⃣ Let it rest for two hours, then pour it into a spray bottle!
Why it works: Camphor and cinnamon both contain natural organic compounds (like camphor and cinnamaldehyde) that emit strong odors. While humans often find these scents pleasant or spicy, many insects find them highly offensive, making this an excellent natural repellent to spray around windows, doorways, and corners! 🪵💨
⚠️ Safety Tip: Camphor can be toxic if swallowed or absorbed in high amounts. Keep this spray entirely out of reach of pets and young children, and avoid spraying it near food prep areas!
