### Instructions
1. In a spray bottle, mix the white vinegar and water.
2. Add the essential oils and dish soap.
3. Shake the bottle well to combine all ingredients.
4. (Optional) Drop a few cloves or bay leaves into the bottle for extra strength.
5. Spray liberally in areas where insects are common — around windows, doors, under sinks, along baseboards, and near trash bins.
### How It Works
* **Vinegar** disrupts the scent trails that insects follow.
* **Peppermint oil** overwhelms the senses of flies and mosquitoes and is a known cockroach deterrent.
* **Eucalyptus oil** has strong antimicrobial and repellent properties.
* **Dish soap** helps the solution cling to surfaces longer, increasing effectiveness.
### Where to Use It
* Kitchen counters and sinks
* Bathroom corners
* Window sills and doorways
* Outdoor patios and garbage areas
* Behind furniture or appliances
### Caution
Always test on a small surface before widespread use to ensure it doesn’t damage wood or delicate finishes. Keep away from eyes and food preparation surfaces.
### Fast-Acting and Long-Lasting
Users report visible results within minutes — with flies and mosquitoes disappearing almost instantly and cockroaches avoiding treated areas. Reapply every 2–3 days for best results, especially in high-traffic or humid areas.
