After preparing your natural pest repellent, you can apply it in several different ways to protect your home. Pour the solution into small containers, lids, or shallow dishes and place them strategically around areas that are prone to pest activity. These might include under kitchen sinks where moisture accumulates, near trash bins that can attract flies and roaches, along windowsills and doorways where insects enter, or next to pet feeding stations. You can also apply the mixture directly to problem areas using a cotton swab or soft cloth. Gently dab a thin line of the solution along cracks, baseboards, behind appliances, or other tight spaces where insects tend to hide or enter your home. Because the mixture may lose effectiveness over time, it’s important to replace it every few days to maintain continuous pest control.
Beyond simply repelling insects, this solution also works as a natural cleaner, helping to remove dirt, grease, and residues that can attract pests in the first place. Regularly using this remedy as part of your home cleaning routine can reduce the chance of infestations and create an environment that is less hospitable to bugs and other pests.
