How to Eliminate Household Pests Using Vicks VapoRub

Vicks VapoRub is a household staple for relieving cold and cough symptoms, but its uses extend beyond wellness. Surprisingly, it can also repel destructive pests invading your home and garden, as highlighted in a video tutorial by Natural Health Remedies on YouTube.
