The Chemical-Free Recipe That Really Works

What You’ll Need:

• 1 tablespoon mint toothpaste

• 1 tablespoon baking soda

• 1 tablespoon white vinegar

• ½ cup (120 ml) warm water

• Optional: a few drops of peppermint essential oil

How to Make It:
Combine the toothpaste and baking soda in a small bowl. Slowly add the vinegar — it will fizz. Stir in the warm water and a few drops of peppermint oil if desired. In just minutes, you’ll have a simple, natural repellent that keeps bugs away.

How to Use It:
Pour the mixture into small containers or lids and place them near pest-prone spots — under sinks, near trash cans, windows, or doors. You can also apply a thin layer along cracks or baseboards with a cotton swab. Replace every few days for best results.

With this gentle, affordable method, you can maintain a pest-free home without harsh chemicals — just the refreshing scent of peppermint and the peace of mind that comes from going natural.
