Put This in Your House for 1 Hour, and You Will Never See Flies, Mosquitoes, or Cockroaches Again

Tips

🧪 Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon of toothpaste (preferably mint-flavored)
  • 1 tablespoon of baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon of white vinegar
  • 5-10 drops of peppermint essential oil (optional but boosts effectiveness)
  • ½ cup of warm water
  • Small bowl or lid (for placing the mixture)

🧑‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, add 1 tbsp of toothpaste.
  2. Add 1 tbsp of baking soda to the toothpaste and mix well.
  3. Pour in 1 tbsp of white vinegar slowly. The mixture will fizz — this is normal.
  4. Add ½ cup of warm water and stir until the mixture is smooth.
  5. (Optional) Add 5–10 drops of peppermint oil for stronger repellent effect.
  6. Pour the mixture into small shallow containers (like jar lids or small plates).
  7. Place the containers in corners, near windows, under sinks, or by garbage bins.

🕒 What Happens After 1 Hour?

  • The minty smell and fumes from the toothpaste and peppermint oil repel mosquitoes and flies.
  • Baking soda and vinegar create an environment cockroaches hate.
  • They will leave the area within a short time, and you’ll notice fewer pests after just an hour.

🔁 Tips:

  • Replace the mixture every 2–3 days for continued effect.
  • You can also spread a thin layer along walls or behind appliances using a cotton swab if needed.
