Using Vicks VapoRub for Pest Control
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.
