Did you know that some natural solutions can effectively scare them away? Discover how a few everyday ingredients can become your best allies in keeping your home clean and pest-free.

  • Make a homemade spray by infusing citrus peel and mint in hot water, then spray the risk areas regularly.

Not only will your home smell good, but these pests will seek refuge elsewhere.
