### How to Make It:

1. **Combine** vinegar, lemon juice, and water in the spray bottle.
2. **Add** the essential oil of your choice. Peppermint is especially effective against cockroaches, while citronella and eucalyptus are powerful mosquito deterrents.
3. **Shake well** to mix all ingredients thoroughly.

## How to Use It:

* **Spray** around windows, doors, garbage bins, under sinks, and any entry points.
* **Focus** on dark, damp, or food-prone areas—places pests love.
* **Reapply** every few days or after cleaning for best results.

Within **10 minutes**, you’ll notice a dramatic reduction in insect activity. Most pests are extremely sensitive to the strong smell of vinegar and citrus oils—they’ll leave the area immediately and avoid returning.

## Why It Works

* **Vinegar** disrupts insect scent trails and repels with its strong odor.
* **Lemon juice** adds a citrus punch that mosquitoes and flies can’t stand.
* **Essential oils** act as natural insecticides and irritants for bugs, especially peppermint and citronella.
* **Water** dilutes the mixture just enough for safe indoor use, without reducing effectiveness.

* Take out the trash daily and clean bin interiors weekly.
* Fix any leaky pipes or standing water (especially for mosquitoes).
