How to Use This Method:
Prepare the Wipes – Take a wet wipe and lightly dampen it with white vinegar or lemon juice.
Sprinkle Baking Soda (Optional) – If you want to add extra repellent power, sprinkle a little baking soda on the wipe.
Place the Wipe in Problem Areas – Put the prepared wipe near areas where ants or cockroaches frequently appear (kitchen counters, under cabinets, near doors, or trash bins).
Replace Daily – Change the wipe every 24 hours for the best results.
Why This Works:
Vinegar & Lemon Juice – Their strong smell disrupts the scent trails ants use to navigate and deters cockroaches.
Baking Soda – It acts as a natural pest deterrent and helps keep the area clean.
Wet Wipe Trap – The texture and moisture of the wipe make it harder for insects to escape once they come in contact.
Other Natural Ways to Keep Ants and Cockroaches Away
Cucumber Peels – Ants and cockroaches dislike the smell of cucumber. Place fresh peels in infested areas.
Bay Leaves – Crush a few dried bay leaves and scatter them near cracks, windows, and cupboards.
Essential Oils – Peppermint, tea tree, or eucalyptus oil mixed with water makes an effective spray to repel pests.
