Cockroaches are hard to eliminate, but some kitchen ingredients can help repel and kill them naturally and permanently.
Mix equal parts of sugar and baking soda. The sugar attracts the cockroaches, while the baking soda reacts with their digestive system and kills them. Place the mixture in shallow lids or bottle caps in dark corners, behind appliances, and under sinks.
Bay leaves also work well. Their strong smell drives cockroaches away. Crush some dried bay leaves and sprinkle them in cabinets, drawers, and other hidden areas.
You can also make a spray using water and white vinegar. Add lemon juice for a stronger scent. Spray it around baseboards, kitchen surfaces, and anywhere you’ve seen cockroaches. It repels them and keeps your kitchen clean.
Another option is using onion and boric acid paste. Mix a mashed onion with a spoon of boric acid powder and place small amounts in corners and cracks. This is toxic to cockroaches but should be kept away from children and pets.
Keeping your kitchen dry, clean, and crumb-free will make it harder for cockroaches to survive. Seal cracks and holes to stop them from entering your home.
These simple, natural methods can keep cockroaches away for good without using harmful chemicals……..CONTINUE READING
