4. Spiders

• Apply Vicks in corners, crevices, under furniture, and other spider-prone spots.

• Mix Vicks with warm water and spray it around areas where spiders commonly appear.

5. Rodents

• Soak cotton balls in Vicks and place them in areas where rodents are often seen (under sinks, in cabinets, etc.).

• Replace the cotton balls every few days to maintain the scent’s potency.

6. Cockroaches

• Dab Vicks in cracks, behind appliances, under sinks, and near drains where cockroaches tend to hide.

Additional Tips

• Boost Effectiveness: Combine Vicks with essential oils like peppermint, citronella, or lavender for extra pest-repelling power.

• Practice Caution: Avoid applying Vicks near food, or in areas accessible to pets and small children.

• Reapply Regularly: Refresh Vicks applications every 2–3 days as the scent fades over time.
