🛠️ How to Make & Apply
1. Gather Supplies
You’ll need a bowl, spoon, funnel, and a clean spray bottle.
2. Combine Ingredients
Mix vinegar, oil, and shampoo thoroughly in the bowl until smooth.
3. Fill Your Bottle
Use a funnel to pour the mixture into the spray bottle to prevent spills.
4. Spray Strategically
Target common insect entry points like doors, windows, garbage areas, and outdoor seating. Avoid spraying on fabrics or delicate surfaces without a patch test.

Patch test first – Try on a small surface area if unsure
