We’ve all seen that annoying scene: a fly circling a bowl of fruit, or worse, a cockroach crawling under the sink. These uninvited guests, previously unwelcome, can quickly turn your home into a pest control zone. But where can you find a solution for all those bathroom and kitchen cabinets? A simple trick with everyday ingredients can work wonders…
Why do insects avoid this natural mixture?
How to make this homemade insect repellent in just 5 minutes?
You don’t have to be a chemistry expert! Here’s what you’ll need:

1 tube Right Mint  toothpaste
1 tube  baking soda
1 tube white vinegar
120ml lukewarm  water
5 to 10 drops peppermint oil (optional, but recommended)
Small, shallow containers (pot lids, saucers, etc.)
In a small bowl, mix the toothpaste and baking soda until smooth. Slowly pour in the vinegar: Does it foam? That’s normal! Then add warm water and mix well. For an even stronger effect, you can add a few drops of peppermint oil.
Pour this mixture into small containers and place them in strategic places: behind trash cans, next to the sink, on windowsills, or in dark corners.
