Is DIY vinegar spray safe to stop my pet from chewing TV wires?

Question

I want to try using bitter apple spray because Luna keeps licking and sometimes chewing on the tv wires. I found a diy version so I was just wondering if the ingredients are safe? The recipe asks for: 2:1 ratio of white vinegar and apple cider vinegar (and water if I want to apply it to wood). Is that safe for her?

Yes vinegar and apply cider vinegar are ok to use. ALso you are trying to deter her from chewing, so if it is effective she won't be licking up most of it anyway. In some cases of large ingestion, some pets can have an upset stomach, but there are no toxicity concerns here. I would recommend using caution when spraying wires with a liquid. You may want to consider purchasing a plastic wire encasing box of some sort as a safer option. Visit your local hardware store to look at your options here. Best of luck to you and take care!
