Step 3: Apply Around the House
Spray the solution generously around areas where flies and cockroaches are commonly found, such as:
Entry points : Windowsills, doorways, cracks, and crevices.
Kitchens and pantries : Near sinks, countertops, and food storage areas.
Bathrooms and basements : Damp, dark spaces that attract pests.
Pay special attention to corners, baseboards, and other hiding spots.
Why This Works
Garlic : Contains sulfur compounds that repel insects due to their strong odor.
Vinegar : Disrupts the pheromones insects use to communicate, confusing them and deterring them from entering your space.

Seal Cracks and Gaps : Use caulk or weatherstripping to block entry points for flies and cockroaches.
Dispose of Trash Properly : Keep garbage bins covered and take out the trash regularly to avoid attracting pests.
Reapply as Needed : The spray’s effects last for several days, but reapply weekly or after cleaning to maintain its potency.
