Wall & Carpet-Safe Centipede Spray (Refined Version)

If you're using it on walls and carpet, your homemade version (with dish soap, carpet cleaner, and degreaser) is pretty solid — just go light on anything that could leave a residue or stain over time.

Here’s a quick tweak to keep it safe for walls and fabric:

🧼 Wall & Carpet-Safe Centipede Spray (Refined Version)

• 1 cup warm water

• 1 tbsp dish soap (gentle or clear kind is best)

• 1/4 cup white vinegar (optional for extra punch, but test first)

• 1 tbsp carpet cleaner

• A few drops of peppermint oil (if you have it)

Mix and lightly spray. Dab dry on fabric if needed.

🪞 For Walls:

• Avoid oils or degreasers that might strip paint or finish.

• Use microfiber cloth to wipe after spraying, if needed.

🧴 Pro Tip:

If you're applying around baseboards or cracks, follow up with a dry barrier like diatomaceous earth (food grade only!) — it's safe and deadly to crawling bugs.

If you ever want to turn this into a long-term bug barrier or trap method, I can help you with that too.
