In the battle against bugs, you don’t need to be a mad scientist. Grab a spray bottle that you might find lurking under the sink, and let the magic begin.

Start by adding around a tablespoon of olive oil to the bottle. Olive oil? Yes, you heard it right! It’s not just for cooking anymore.

The oil will help suffocate and repel those tiny intruders.

Step 2: Dish Soap: A Secret Ingredient

Next up, add a little bit of dish soap to the mix. The dish soap emulsifies, allowing the oil and water to mix properly.

Plus, it helps break down the protective barriers on bugs’ bodies, making them more susceptible to the suffocating effects of the oil. Just a tiny squirt will do the trick.

Step 3: Water, Shake, and Spray

Now, fill the spray bottle with water, leaving some space at the top for shaking. Remember, bugs hate surprises, so give the bottle a good shake to combine all the ingredients.

Ah, the satisfying sound of nature’s bug-fighting elixir swirling together.

Step 4: Time for Action

Bugs won’t stand a chance against this natural concoction. The oil will make the leaves slippery, deterring bugs from settling down, while the soap and oil combo will help prevent further damage.
