This is why you must spray vinegar around your windows this summer

Summer has finally arrived, bringing with it that familiar urge to throw open our windows and let the sunshine in.

There is nothing quite like the sound of birds chirping and the feel of a cool breeze blowing through the house. The downside, however, is that open windows are also an open invitation for insects to enter our homes—and most of us have no desire to share our living space with creepy-crawlies.

Fortunately, there is a perfect solution to keep these creatures away. It is quick, easy, and inexpensive: a spray bottle filled with vinegar and water. This simple trick ensures those unpleasant fliers keep their distance without the use of harmful chemicals or the need to kill the insects.

How It Works

Most insects, including spiders, are repelled by vinegar. They will undoubtedly find a different opening to crawl through, leaving your sun-drenched space free of unwanted visitors.

However, be sure to dilute the vinegar. It contains acetic acid, which can be harmful to spiders; by diluting the solution, you can steer them away without actually hurting them. While many people are put off by the scent of vinegar, most would agree that the smell is far preferable to having spiders crawling around the house any day.

What You Will Need

To prepare this simple solution, you will need:

• White Vinegar
• Water
• A Spray Bottle

Preparation and Use:

1. Mix: Create a solution of half vinegar and half water in the spray bottle.

2. Spray: Apply the mixture around your window frames, both on the inside and the outside.

Enjoy a pest-free home this summer!
