The Role of Olive Oil
Olive oil acts as a binding agent that helps keep the mixture stable and effective for a longer period.
It has natural properties that can coat and trap insects, preventing them from escaping once they come in contact with the mixture.
The Power of Shampoo
Shampoo, specifically the surfactants in it, reduces the surface tension of the vinegar solution, making it easier for bugs to drown.
The fragrance from shampoo can also mask the smell of vinegar, making the mixture more tolerable for humans.
How to Make the Mixture
1. In a bowl, mix one cup of vinegar, half a cup of olive oil, and a few drops of shampoo.
2. Stir the mixture well until all components are fully integrated.
