For me, it's all about getting crafty with everyday items. I've had success with homemade traps using stuff like vinegar, dish soap, and even beer for those pesky fruit flies. Plus, peppermint oil works wonders for keeping spiders away – they hate the stuff! And when all else fails, a good old-fashioned deep clean can work wonders. After all, pests aren't big fans of squeaky clean spaces.

I've had great success using a mix of vinegar and water to repel pests around my home. Just spray it in problem areas. Another trick is placing citrus peels near entry points; pests hate the smell. Give these a try and see what works best for you!

White vinegar is a versatile household item that can help repel insects. Create a solution of equal parts vinegar and water and use it to clean surfaces, especially in areas where pests are likely to enter.

Make your own DIY traps with everyday household items to capture and eliminate pests. For example, you can make ant bait by mixing sugar and borax, and you can catch fruit flies by mixing vinegar and dish soap.😉
