VINEGAR AND BAKING SODA SOLUTION
SOLUCIÓN DE VINAGRE Y BICARBONATO
How does it work?
Vinegar and baking soda solution is a home remedy used to repel bed bugs and beetles naturally. Vinegar acts as a repellent thanks to its strong smell and acidity, which alters the environment of insects. Bicarbonate, for its part, can affect the balance of the exoskeleton of some insects and create an unfavorable environment for their development. Combined, they form an effervescent mixture with disinfectant and repellent action.
How is it prepared?
The preparation is simple and requires common ingredients.
Recipe:
- 1 liter of water
- 100 ml of white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
Steps:
1. Pour the water into a container.
2. Add the vinegar and mix.
3. Slowly add the baking soda, as it will fizz.
4. Stir well and place the mixture in a sprayer.
5. Use immediately or store for up to 24 hours.
How to apply it?
