šŖ³ How to Use It:
- For ants: Spray the solution along windowsills, countertops, and any visible ant trails. Ants leave scent markers for others to follow, and this mixture disrupts their chemical communication.
- For cockroaches: Apply the spray behind appliances, under sinks, and in dark corners where cockroaches like to hide. The acidic mixture kills bacteria and makes the area less inviting for pests.
- For fleas: Spray on pet bedding, around baseboards, and near carpets. Make sure itās dry before your pets come in contact with it.
š” Tip: You can also pour some of this mixture down the drain once a week to prevent cockroaches from coming up through the pipes.
