Youโll need:
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup warm water
- A spray bottle
Steps:
- Mix and fizz: In a container, add the baking soda first, then slowly pour in the vinegar. It will fizz โ thatโs normal and part of the cleaning reaction.
- Add water: Once it settles, add warm water and pour the mixture into a spray bottle.
- Spray problem areas: Focus on cracks, corners, under the sink, behind the fridge, and around drains.
- The strong scent and reaction clean away the film that attracts roaches and neutralize odors that draw them in.
- The mix also breaks down the oily residue cockroaches use to navigate, forcing them to leave quickly.
Extra tip: Sprinkle dry baking soda in hidden corners afterward. When roaches walk over it and ingest it, it reacts with their stomach acids โ helping eliminate them naturally.
๐ฆ How to Repel Lizards with Baking Soda + Vinegar
Youโll need:
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ยฝ cup water
Steps:
- Mix the ingredients in a spray bottle.
- Shake well (it will fizz lightly).
- Spray near walls, behind furniture, near lights, and around window frames โ especially where lizards often appear.
Why it works:
Lizards are sensitive to the strong smell of vinegar and the alkaline surface left by baking soda. They dislike the scent and taste, so theyโll quickly move away from treated areas.
โ Quick Tips for Lasting Results
- Keep your kitchen and bathroom dry โ roaches and lizards love humidity.
- Seal cracks and gaps around windows, pipes, and baseboards.
- Repeat spraying daily for the first few days, then once or twice a week to keep them away.
- Add a few drops of peppermint or eucalyptus oil to your spray for a fresh scent and stronger repelling effect.
Result: Within minutes, both cockroaches and lizards will move away from treated areas โ and with regular use, theyโll stop returning.
A clean, fresh-smelling home โ without toxic chemicals!
