      You can buy big bottles of pure limonene online sold as a cleaner.

      Its way cheaper per unit than those tiny bottles of essential oils, which shows how inflated the price is for a lot of them.

        Super affordable. Also I’ve never found a more effective scatter-gun for evasive household bugs.

        Shoot-wipe-toss. No evidence of the slaying beyond a faint smell of oranges.
