And after one hour, what happens?

It’s almost instant: within the first hour, you’ll notice a difference. The minty scent gradually spreads through the air, creating an unwelcoming environment for pests. Flies and mosquitoes naturally stay away, while cockroaches — highly sensitive to the vinegar-baking soda combo — clear out.

A small action with a big impact: this is a simple, affordable, and home-friendly solution to bring peace back into your space.

Bonus tips for long-lasting effectiveness

• Refresh every 2 to 3 days to maintain peak effect.

• Adapt use to your needs: apply a thin layer behind appliances or along baseboards using a cotton swab.

• In summer: place a container near entrances or open windows for an extra natural barrier.

• Safe for the family: this mixture is non-toxic and doesn’t emit harsh chemicals — perfect for a healthy home.

Nature has it all figured out — sometimes, all it takes is a few simple steps to restore harmony in your home.
