This Household Chemical Can Protect Your Home From Insects WD-40: BUG REPELLANT
WD-40 does just about everything. “If it moves but shouldn’t, use duct tape. If it won’t move but should, use WD-40” is practically an American proverb. It stops squeaks, cleans steel, and separates stuck objects. But it can do even more than that: Repel insects. Bugs don’t like the scent of WD-40, plus it can kill them by suffocation. Cheaper than most insecticides and infinitely more versatile, a can of WD-40 is perfect for keeping bugs out of your house. Doors and Windows Insects invade your house through every opening, including the crack in the front door. Keeping them out can be next to impossible unless you take precautions. One such safeguard is to spray WD-40 underneath the doorframe as if it were a barrier between your world and theirs. You should also spray it underneath windows and anywhere else they might come in. Roofs and Vents Insects love roofs. They can invade many nooks and crannies in your roof, such as vents and cracks, but WD-40 can help prevent it. Spray it on any points of access, including the gutter. Many gutters have hot air vents, a popular entrance for spiders. Try spraying the
soffit — where the roof overhangs — to deter wasps and other creatures from building nests. When and Where Not to Use WD-40 There are a few limitations to WD-40. It doesn’t keep out flying insects, so flies, bees, and other winged bugs can still get in.
Also, WD-40 isn’t a solution for infestations, so call a professional exterminator if that’s your situation. WD-40 is poisonous, so don’t spray it in the kitchen. The chemical is also toxic to animals, including your pets. If you have animals, only use WD-40 on surfaces they can’t access, such as window frames, but be extra wary about where your cats hang out. The Chemical for All Your Household Needs WD-40 is a surprising solution for many household challenges. It makes snow shoveling easier, cleans bird droppings, and more. If your household is a potential target for an insect invasion, a few sprays of WD-40 in key locations can help you protect the home from insects, ants, and possibly termites.
