      I use a mosquito repellent to kill ants.

      What other products do you use for what purposes?

      I use chapstick to heal acne scars, since all it actually does for lips is make them worse at retaining moisture

          FYI: Simple Green is a cleaner and melts bugs in real-time (ngl, kinda morbid, watching them contort in obvious agony) — with the added bonus of it being prohibitive to the same returning to the area anytime soon. (Pro-tip, I've found it to still be super effective at dilutions of 1:5-10, and a 5gal jug goes for ~$30.)

          Oh, and PSA: many common ant species found in homes are "opportunistic" nesters that will split off from the main community when it suffers sufficient losses... Thereby multiplying the fronts on which your battle is fought as well as streamlining their troop production & resistance. 😶 Just sayin'. Do your research FIRST.

              Just, don't use it on active acne! Those flare-ups are often infected and that candy-flavored wax stick immediately becomes a conveniently-capped petri dish of your epidermal flora chaos, ready for deployment on new battlegrounds. 🤢

                Dawn dish soap is good for:
                Killing ground burrowing insects
                Hand cleaner
                Bubble stuff

                          The boring one I do most often is shopping bags (non-reusable) for trash can liners.

                          One I've heard of but not done is wasp spray as pepper spray /people repellant.

                            I'm pretty sure that's the intended use of sarcasm.

                              I bought one of those kits for a Kindle Fire hat had the charging stand with the case with the magnets so you could drop the tablet on and charge it,

                              the tablet died long ago but I still use the charging stand (unpowered) as a phone and book stand XD

                                    I like to use the plastic wrappers that toilet rolls are sold in for waste bin liners. I don't know about other places, or even manufacturers, but the ones I buy come in a wrapper that doesn't have any holes except the one I tear to get at the rolls in the first place. All I need to do is widen that a bit once the rolls have run out and it's ready for any bin or bucket I might be using.

                                    I'm also using an old shredder bin as a waste bin because the shredder part died. Decided I might as well hang on to the lower part. Perfectly usable receptacle.

                                    It's rubbish, but that only makes it more apt!

                                      I'm not being snarky. That's a bamboo sourced toilet paper that doesn't use plastic and ships right to your door. I like to bring them up a lot because I like the product and the service and the environmental impact.

                                        Just not at the same time. If you use vinegar and baking soda together, you'll effectively neutralize both.

                                          Being the most financially successful product *could* mean they excel at ripping people off the most. See HP and their printers.
