Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
I mixed up about 1 oz of Thieves Cleaner in a 16 oz bottle of filtered water and have been using it to kill small ants in my kitchen for weeks. (Diffusing the Thieves oil blend keeps them away).
I found a wasp nest in my bird feeder and sprayed it before I opened it. The wasps staggered out like they were drunk...they couldn't fly! It gave me time to safely step on them.
Tonight I found a huge roach that was hiding in the corner...we're in a serious drought and have had high temperatures for over a month here in Texas. I guess they're searching for water. Normally they run away quickly when you try to swat them.
I ran to the kitchen for my bottle of the Thieves mixture and sprayed it really good. It was immediately paralyzed and I was able to safely squash the bug with my shoe and dispose of it with a large paper towel.
I then wet a clean towel with the mixture to clean the bottom of my shoe and the area where the bug was smashed. I LOVE Thieves!
