Cockroaches infestations are unpredictable and very common at home. The most unpleasant part is that they will always find their way even into the cleanest part of your living spaces. Worse! Since they mostly have nocturnal habits, you probably won’t even notice them for a while.
Start using our tips to ultimately stop them from infesting your whole house.
Here are 5 simple and natural tips to get rid of them once for all.
3. Fabric Softener
This one is quite simple and effective. The cockroaches commonly called roaches can’t tolerate the high fragrance of the fabric softener. Essentially, the strong fragrance ends up killing them.
- Mix warm water with liquid fabric softener in a spray bottle.
- Spray the infested area.
Use Coffee
The smell of your coffee ground will attract the roaches. Once again the smell is too strong for them and the coffee is actually toxic to them.
- Simply spread fresh coffee ground around the roaches activity area.
- They will eat it and die from it.
2. Sugar and Boric Acid
It works just like a simple bait would… the sugar will attract them and the acid will kill them. Quite a nice duo!
- Mix both things together and sparkle all affected area.
*Be aware, boric acid is toxic to humans and animals. Make sure your children or your pets can’t reach it.
Baking Soda and Sugar
This option is pretty much a safer replica to the previous option.
- Keep sparkling the area daily since this process may take a little longer.
1. Cayenne, Garlic and Onion Powder
Last but not least, the strong smell of these 3 ingredients mixed together will attract your roaches. It’s the contact that will eventually kill them.
- Make sure to refresh your mix since the smell evaporate through time.
