Vicks VapoRub is a mentholated ointment used for cough and cold relief, not for killing or controlling pests.

🧴 Does it actually repel pests?

Some people claim the strong smell “repels insects,” but in reality:

• There is no solid scientific evidence it works for:
  • Mosquitoes
  • Ants
  • Cockroaches
  • Flies
  • Spiders
  • Rodents

At best, strong odors may temporarily disturb some insects—but they do not eliminate infestations.
