Ingredients:
1 cup of water
1 tablespoon of eucalyptus oil
1 tablespoon of lavender oil
1 tablespoon of peppermint oil
1 tablespoon of tea tree oil
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 small spray bottle
A few cotton balls or a cloth
Directions:
Begin by mixing the water and essential oils (eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint, and tea tree) in a small bowl.
Add the tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture to enhance the fragrance and efficacy.
Pour the mixture into the spray bottle. Shake it well to ensure all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
If you want to increase the potency, you can place a few cotton balls or a cloth in different areas of your home (near doors, windows, and high-traffic spots) and soak them with the solution.
For the next step, spray the solution around the house, focusing on entry points like windows, doors, and any areas where pests are most likely to enter.
Leave the solution undisturbed for about an hour. During this time, the powerful aroma of the oils will fill the air, effectively repelling flies, mosquitoes, and cockroaches from your home.
Serving and Storage Tips:
To maintain the freshness of the solution, store the spray bottle in a cool, dark place when not in use.
Reapply the solution every few days or as needed, especially if you notice pests returning. You can also use the cotton balls for a longer-lasting effect.
Make sure to shake the bottle well before each use to ensure the oils remain properly mixed.
Variations:
For a stronger scent, increase the quantity of the essential oils used. However, be cautious not to go overboard as the scent might become overpowering.
If you prefer a citrus scent, you can replace the lemon juice with orange or grapefruit essential oil.
You can experiment with other essential oils, like citronella or lemongrass, which are also known for their bug-repelling properties.
