The method involves creating a homemade pest deterrent using a combination of essential oils and other natural ingredients that are known for their insect-repelling properties. By strategically placing this concoction on your porch, you can create an invisible barrier that keeps wasps, mosquitoes, and other flying pests at bay.
The key ingredients include peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and a few drops of dish soap mixed with water. Fill a spray bottle with 500 ml of water, add 10 drops each of peppermint and eucalyptus oil, and a teaspoon of dish soap. Shake well and spray around the perimeter of your porch. This mixture not only repels insects but also leaves a pleasant aroma.
