Instructions:
- In a spray bottle, combine the vinegar, crushed bay leaves, and smashed garlic.
- Let it sit for 1 hour to allow the ingredients to infuse.
- Strain the mixture and pour it back into the spray bottle.
- Spray generously in problem areas: along baseboards, behind appliances, under sinks, around garbage cans, and near entry points.
🧽 Bonus: Use It to Clean as Well
Not only does this mix repel pests, but it also makes a great natural surface cleaner. The vinegar cuts through grease and disinfects, while the garlic and bay leaf leave a scent that keeps insects at bay.
⚠️ Tips for Best Results
- Repeat daily in areas with high activity until the pests are gone.
- Keep your home clean and dry—cockroaches especially are drawn to water and crumbs.
- Seal food and garbage properly, and never leave dirty dishes overnight.
