Bonus Tips for Long-Lasting Effectiveness
Want to make the most out of your natural bug defense? Here are a few bonus tips that take this simple trick to the next level:
Reapply every 2–3 days to keep the scent strong and consistent.
Use a cotton swab or small brush to apply a thin layer behind large appliances or along cracks in the wall.
In the summer, place a small container near open doors and windows to create a natural barrier.
Dab a bit on cotton balls and tuck them inside drawers or closets to keep pests out of dark spaces.
If you’re going on vacation, set a few of these out before leaving — they’ll help maintain a bug-free home while you’re away.
Safe for the Whole Family
