Apply Vicks in corners, crevices, or under furniture to keep spiders away.
Increase effectiveness by mixing Vicks with warm water and spraying it on spider-prone areas.
5. Rodents
Place Vicks-soaked cotton balls in areas where rodents congregate to deter them from entering your home.
Replace the cotton balls every few days to maintain the scent.
6. Cockroaches
Dab Vicks along cracks, under sinks, and near drains to deter cockroaches from taking up residence in these areas.
Additional Tips
Boost with Essential Oils: Mix Vicks with essential oils such as citronella, peppermint, or lavender for added pest-repelling power.
Safety Instructions: Avoid using Vicks in food preparation areas and in areas accessible to pets or children.
Regular care: Reapply Vicks every 2-3 days, as the scent fades over time.
