For many people, the powerful smell of eucalyptus in Vicks VapoRub, brings back memories of childhood and being tucked up in bed with a cold. But Don’t leave vicks gathering dust in your medicine cabinet. there are plenty of clever uses for VapoRub that have nothing to do with a congested chest. Vicks vapor rub is concocted from several essential oils such as camphor, eucalyptus oil, menthol, cedar leaf oil, nutmeg, thymol, and even turpentine oil.
Each of these have their own unique scent, which is so potent that it produces a mild heat wave when applied to the skin.
If there is one thing that all insects have in common, is their dislike of a minty scent, and vicks contains a lot of it
Number 1 bedbugs If there's one thing a bed bug can't stand, it's the smell of Vicks vaporub. Bed bugs are known to hate essential oils, and the strong, menthol scent of vicks makes them sick. Apply Vicks to your hands, feet, neck, and any other exposed area of skin before sleep, to prevent bed bugs from biting you.
Vicks can also be applied to the legs of the bed to prevent bed bugs from climbing onto the bed.
Number 2 fleas
Camphor is a white crystalline substance obtained from the tree Cinnamomom camphora and used for centuries as a spice.
It’s also an ingredient of Vicks.
This substance is an insect repellent and can be used to deter fleas on humans. Vicks VaporRub also contains cedar leaf oil, which acts as an insect, mosquito, and fleas repellent in its natural state.
However, the story for dogs and cats is not so good.
This is true for many medicines for humans.
What is good for us, is not good for pets.
Vicks vapor rub contains camphor products, menthol, and nutmeg oil.
These ingredients are toxic to both dogs and cats.
It doesn’t matter the delivery system, rubbing it on, or using a vaporizer, this product should not come anywhere near your pets.
Number 3, Mice and rats
Mice may seem furry and cute to some people, but you really don’t want them in your house.
Mice can carry diseases and move into your living space.
This all natural solution is going to take care of your rat and mice problem by repelling them and killing them, and the best thing is you probably going to have all the ingredients you need in your home already.
So you are going to need

Vicks is a cure all for so many things. My sister had acne when we were younger, my mom told her to use Vicks on her face, a daily regimen, today she has a beautiful complexion . We're in our 50s and 60s now. Thanks Mom I miss you.❤
She probly grew out of it. When your hormones settle down it can go away. How sure it was the vicks that cleared it up?
Is your sister single? I'm 63 well 64 next month
It's not due to rubbing OILS on her face. I'm guessing it wasn't until AFTER she stopped doing such a stupid thing. 😂
@@malcolmdrake6137yes, it could have just been adolescent acne that naturally cleared up as puberty ended
There's no guarantee that this is even true.
I used Vicks all my life for colds, never knew this. Thank you
Vicks is great for dry cracked feet and hands,put a small cup by windows and doors and Flys and mosquitoes won't enter. Good for squeaky hinges. My grandmother taught me all kinds of stuff.
I Never knew what it can do besides just rubbing on your chest n nose. Thanks, I will apply to some of your suggestions 😊
@@cecim7369works great on forehead and back of the neck to alleviate migraines.
LMAO when I was young and backpacking in Asia I used what was basically a vicks pen to draw a line around the bed to keep ants and spiders away.
Did it work?!😁
@@ValerieGumble worked great, for ants you are better off baiting them with something high in calories life a piece of a power bar in the corner. I was staying in $2 a night places, some are what many would consider less than desirable.
@@Average1212You should start a channel and tell us of uour adventures! I would love to learn about traveling on the cheap, and I'm sure many others would as well!!!
@@Leorickinnyc I haven't traveled cheap for many years now, I am currently retired in Thailand (from canada originally) . The world is much different now then when i was younger and traveling.
Vicks has worked miracles for me in so many ways all my life. So glad to see these videos benefiting countless other people. I am learning a few new benefits from these videos. Grateful 👍👍👍👍👍
I spent one summer in Louisiana feeding the local bugs. I obviously have the good blood. A kind older lady in a store felt pity on me and turned me onto vicks. I use the lavender scent. I keep a jar on my front porch now and when I sit or go outside i put a few small dabs on my ankles elbow neck & wrists. I am no longer on the menu.
I'm headed to put some on the kitchen sill. I hope to screw up the ants' day.
Lavender scented Vicks?! Never heard of it.
Never heard of Lavender Vicks !
@@lindamassey9817 Neither had I. It's not a massive smell difference from the original. Still, it works great. Amazon and Walmart both carry it. My granddaughters were more open to using the Vicks when I showed them the purple flowers on the jar. They think GMA has magic 💕
🤣🤣🤣 I like that ending...... "I am no longer on the menu..."
Is there a healing agent in Vicks? Someone please tell me.
I knew a lot of what you shared already but learned so much more. Thank you!
I always have vicks in my medicine cabinet.for flu, sore throat .
Thanks for this very useful information. will definitely get some Vicks the next time I go shopping
If you got fungal toenails. Apply Vicks on your feet after bathing and then cover with a sock
This is quite valuable information. Thank You
Thank you so very much for this information it is very helpful 🙏
Helpful information thanks for sharing this.👍
To prevent bed bugs from biting you. 😳 If one has bed bug you better do a lot more than apply Vicks on ur body. FYI Diatomaceous Earth IS A 100% cure for bed bugs and all bugs in general
Spiders, too?
I guess it might be good if it not your place. Like when you’re traveling and staying over night at a hotel.
LMFAO!!!! That was absolutely hilarious! I got to that segment, thought to myself, Apply Vix to stop the bed bugs from biting?! Wtf?
Why would I continue to go to sleep in a bed that had Bed Bugs! Let alone do prep work to stop them from biting LOL!!!
I'm burning the god damn Mattress 😂😂😂😂
@@judithscobee8102 all bugs will die when expose to diatomaceous earth. They have exoskeletons and the non poisonous non toxic DE creates cuts in their exoskeleton and they dye of dehydration - they know to stay way so yes this includes spiders. it’s said humans as well as dogs can drink DE (it’s a powder yet put in a liquid) and it will help rid one of parasites. However one must use the food grade DE not the type used in swimming pool filtration. It’s cheap 2
Exactly....... D E is jus AWESOME on them.
Thank you for sharing this information
Thanks you for ths information. May I say what a lovely voice the lady has, so calming and pleasant
LOL it’s not a lady, it’s AI 😂
Thank you very very much for sharing your remedies use of Vicks Rub. God bless you Shalom
Thanks for the valuable information.
Great information!
Thank you, for the great information.
Vicks is a hero on bed bugs? Wow!✨🙌🏻
How to use vicks for bed bug😅
i used it for bed bugs, it did absolutely nothing to quell them. i woke up 1/2 way through the night with bed bugs stuck in the vaporub. when i squeezed the bugs they were full of blood, mine!! i was so hoping that vaporub would take care of the bed bugs, but my hopes have been dashed.
@@wessfavorites8411 I found 2 bug within the last 2:week....in looking for natural remedies to get rid of them b4 I really have a problem
If you have bed bugs! You supposed throw everything away!!!! And start over I had to throw everything in my house away!!!
I believe Vic's cure everything thankful video
I had cockroaches in a nightstand, and I got rid of them by rubbing it around on the crevices and corners. It worked like a champ.
My family is currently living in a hotel and I've noticed some cockroaches in our room. I'm trying really hard to keep it clean for my kids, but we had a lady stay next door with a dog and after she left I noticed the roaches in our room. I'll try rubbing Vic's in our room. Thank you for sharing
@@vickiefinney6073 Also, sprinkle baking soda, or put it in a bottle cap in a corner. Baking soda dries them out from the inside!
@@dday3322 thank you. I'm trying hard to keep my family safe while we are going through our situation. Thank God my children are teenagers, but still I want them to be safe
@@vickiefinney6073 I hate cockroaches. I'm sorry that you must live in a hotel room. That can't be easy. The Vicks works great. Also peppermint oil on a cotton ball stuck in cracks of the foundation of the room are also good.
This the one I was looking for I have Coach roach problem no matter what do just when I think there gone they come back so I just rub in the drawers plz let me know I really need help Thank you California ♥️😎
Thanks for sharing your video with us God bless you
I tried this once, but it didn't work very well. The pesky bugs wouldn't stay still long enough for me to rub on their chests! 😀
That will never, not be funny lol
Lol 😂
Sometimes we don't give things enough time, so we can see if it working; we want everything to work instantly.
😂
Not talking about the kids
I also use it to keep bats off my enclosed porch. They always find a way to squeeze in through the smallest of cracks. So put Vicks around the windows. Keeps them away.
Bats? Are you sure that you aren't actually keeping the Bugs away that the Bats would actually be interested in?
😂😂😂
You put vix out and find that all the bats are gone 😂😂😂, Maybe because the Vix is effecting their food source, The Bugs 😂😂😂
@@cMARVEL360o
@@cMARVEL360 - Whatever works, smartypants. Are YOU sure those bats aren't roosting in your belfrey?
Thank you for sharing that information
Thank you for this informative video
Glad to add More remedies for Vicks. Vapor Rub.
Thank-you for this valuable information!! I hate spiders, fleas, mosquitos....etc.But they do love me!
... by taste.
@@Dread2012death
Yes, I get bitten frequently! 🤔
Will try.But to treat areas all over house and garden one will need tubs and tubs of Vicks

I dislike fleas and mosquitoes but spiders, ai consider my friends. They eat mosquitoes and other icky bugs. I have q metallic green orchard orb weaver near my mailbox. Tiny and beautiful thing. Such pretty colors and has a bright orange happy face on its abdomen! Tiny and harmless.

Vicks is a great mosquito repellent.
I sure wish I found out about this many years ago it could have saved me tons of money
Great!. I will try it.. good old vicks
Thank you information .
Beautiful beautiful Beautiful Tips thanks 🙏👍
Diatomaceous Earth for anything that has an exoskeleton. Not toxic to anything with an internal skeleton, like humans and birds. If you use food grade, it is edible too, and can kill intestinal parasites.
Thank you for helping me that's it this means a lot to me
Thanks dear..👍
Very useful tips...I wanted to get rid of tiny cockroaches and spiders👍😊🌷
Thank you for a great video and I really enjoyed it too
The best valuable advice on this subject I have seen. Thank you
Thsnks. Good and usefull information
That’s great info
Buy eucalyptus oil and apply to cotton balls or cardboard stick into wall holes, under cabinets and stoves. Vicks is mostly petroleum with a little eucalyptus oil.
Exactly!!! I don’t know why people rub that garbage on their skin.
@@sielorstout1213 - because it's good for your skin. Even if you smell like a bag of medicine.
Is Vicks good for your facial complexion?
@@sielorstout1213 Vicks is great for growing pains 😁 I'm not joking!!
Plus helps if you can't breathe from a common cold.
😅
Thank you for yours tipsily well appreciate 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thank you!
Thanks. It all makes sense.
Very informative,thanks❤ guys

I tried this on my mother in law and it worked !
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂hahahaha
😂😂😂😂
I will try,ty
Naughty
Interesting. Very interesting! Thanks
wow I think that I really needs to try this one out ASAP
Thankyou for useful information
It's the best insect repellent too. Even blackflies will flee ! If you
have roaches, they can crawl into kids (adults too) ears at night.
Vicks repels them, but I would use earplugs too. I hate them!
*The miracle ointment!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂*
That is a good video and sure never knew so now I have that in cuboards that's what's going to be done now to help thanks 👍
thank you so much. God bless you.
Thanks for the tips, blessings
Thanks for all info...
So informative
Thank you the help
Nice chipmunks you showed when talking about mice
Yeah, I noticed that too. Also, the ants were really termites.
Thank you
It works keeping people away too😂
I always rub it into the soles of my feet at night when I have a cold…… reduces the symptoms very quickly
I do the same and put cotton socks on over it. It works miracles!
I had a well established toenail infection and the remedy were too costly, so I rubbed vicks around the nail a couple of times and I swear it started to work almost straight away, it was gone within a week and never came back
thanks so much
Good job 🙏thank you
Spider just make a web
Spider is not a pest.
Spider is a friend, an ally against insects.
Protect spiders.
Yay but they freak me out especially the ones that jump eeek
U don’t need to add Vick to cookies just baking soda and cookies will work mice can’t fart lol
It's a joke with Hispanic people, Mom saying " PUT VICKS ON IT!!!" even if you get hit by a car! LOL! But it is good for alll this!
Learned a lot!
Fantastic idea Thank you for sharing this valuable information. 💯👏👍👏🥰
Ty!!
My whole house smells like Vicks vapor rub now... my guests think I'm sick all the time.
🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahahahaha very funny 🤣😂
😂
Hope you don't have cats or any other pets 😢😢
😂
Like duck tape VICS has a 1001 uses, last time I got nailed by a spider VICS help to take the sting and pain away, still wound up in the hospital, dang spiders cause more harm thana rattlesnake.
Thanks👍
Really I've been using that since I was a kid mom never told me this this is 💯🌹💯👑
Great for beard growth too!
Really!!?? I've been trying to get my beard to grow!... How do I use it?
Very good
Thanx 😊👍
I'm glad to know about Vicks vapor rub helps.
At 0:47 the video that accompanies the voice-over discussing bed bugs shows what appears to be an arachnid, perhaps a tick, sporting eight legs (or at least four on the side which is visible.) My understanding is that bed bugs are insects and as such are limited to six legs. Still, I appreciate the tip about Vicks vaporub, and I'll try it.
Put a bit of Vapo Rub into your warm bath and breathe in deeply clears the head, nose and sinuses.
It can stop cats running up and down trees I mean stray cats.
Boil water and drop a tlb. Spoon of Vicks have a seat, place towel over head inhale works wonders boil a lemon until soft cut lemon in pieces ,in a cup add honey ginger optional drink as. tonic for bronchial flu colds.your welcome to lay down & sweat it out.😉
NOTE: DO NOT USE THE BAIT BALLS IF YOU HAVE CATS OR DOGS, OR TO POISON OUTDOOR RODENT INFESTATIONS. IT WILL MAKE OTHER ANIMALS THAT THEN EAT THE RODENTS SICK, OR EVEN KILL THEM.
1:14 1:15
If I just put small dabs where I think the mouse hole is do you think that will keep them out without killing them?
@@beatrixthegreat1138 ,
Get some Jiffy cornbread mix that has the honey in it and baking soda. Mix half-and-half in a little container put it in a couple places you see the mice coming in or the rats. They eat it because it has the honey in the Jiffy the one with the little utensil with honey dripping off of it and because they can't pass gas from the baking soda they go off and croak. It works. I got this idea from my Farmer Rancher on TH-cam
@@elainroles7217 Vics vapor rub is toxic to a lot of animals, especially cats. Look it up.
THANK YOU....
Vicks will also rid you of a bedroom partner😆😆
Supper 😮
I was working in a hospital I end up with bed bugs in my house, I tell you it started off with one I seen I clean, spray and wash yet it was not enough it became to be lots and lots of bed bugs I had to move and I had to leave a lot behind. I got a new place now no bed bugs. Those bugs was bitting me leaving marks on my body I could not sleep. But when I moved and left things that I didn't want to leave behind, I got no bed bugs now. That was years ago.
The rat thing I don't know if it works or not...(doubt it) but if it does you don't want the rats walking away and dying somewhere else like under your fridge or oven or even worse in the walls or attic because then your just gonna be dealing with a horrible smell of death in your house. That goes for just about any poison! The old fashioned spring traps are about the best thing it's a quick snap to the neck also instead of a slow poisoning death
Sticky traps and some peanut butter remain undefeated for mice ever since a pest control guy who came to my job and told me. Apparently they can't keep themselves away from peanut butter.
Peppermint essential oil works great they hate the smell I put drops in my garage in the wi to keep them out of my engine and my basement
In@@orlandosimpson8404I am using DR Catch mouse traps. Smear a dab of peanut butter on the Bait cup, set the trap, and BAM. I killed 10 mice in two days with these. Unlike the old vic traps, I never touch the dead mouse, and I don't have to worry about breaking a finger by accident.
I always make sure l Vicks
I use Vicks for everything. Always for sinus issues. I put on my chest every night.
I still use it for sinuses.
I'd like to add anybody out there who has a toenail fungus all you have to do is put the Vicks on your toenails on the fungus of course the whole toenail and under if you can and then put your socks on and sleep and do that for two weeks and you'll notice that the fungus is dying and dead I don't know exactly if it's the eucalyptus I'm not sure but my doctor told me to use it because the things on the market were not working for me and trust me it kills the fungus.
Mint grown around homes, etc. Loose leaf tobacco scattered around foundation & entrances. Perhaps friendly snakes for rodents. Hog nose, Bull .
Huh?
This is very helpful information… thank you!! 👍
Diatomaceous earth also works really well for fleas food grade
White store brand white distilled vinegar is the cheapest and best method to get rid of bed bugs. Use a pump spray.
Excellent option, but I prefer the smell of Vicks instead of vinegar.
White vinegar kills bed bugs??
My mom rubbed it on our chests and the bottom of our feet. Ahhh, it was heaven in my mothers hands ❤
Good against mosquitoes, u can use vicks vapor rub and a candle
