Home remedies to eliminate cockroaches at home?
1. Laurel and lavender
Placing some bay leaves in the corners or places that we think pass or are comfortable, since the smell scares them and makes them leave. The laurel has a very intense smell that humans are used to and cockroaches hate. And, the same goes for the scent of lavender, which usually scare away insects.
2. Boric and onion powder paste
It is one of the remedies to eliminate the oldest cockroaches we know. It is about making a paste to put in the corners where these insects usually travel and that is not near children or accessible to our pet (since it can be toxic). It is prepared by cutting the onion into very small pieces or even chopping it and mix it with a glass of flour, beer or water until it thickens, 1 pinch of sugar and 4 tablespoons of boric acid. We mix everything well and, there has to be a semi-liquid paste. We can collect caps and use these to put the dough in the corners.
3. Fondant and baking soda
The sweet calls them but since his stomach is acidic … this paste kills them. A semi-liquid mixture is made that attracts them by putting the paste in the corners and favorite hiding places of cockroaches. Cockroaches will appear, they will eat and … they will die. Bicarbonate kills them in minutes!
4. Cockroach traps on cardboard
The cardboard, paper or wood love them. If we put glue or glue on a cardboard and sprinkle with sugar, they will come to eat calls for the candy and they will die stuck to the cardboard because they will not be able to leave.
5. Clean pipes and drains
To prevent them from coming out of the pipes, drains, toilets … The ideal is to clean the house and when we go to scrub put ammonia in the water and, once we have finished … the dirty water we throw it through the pipes, so we managed to kill the cockroaches and their nests with ammonia.
It is also good to use boiling water to get rid of the nests and cockroaches that perch on the elbows, pipes and pipes of bathrooms and kitchens. Therefore, once a week we put water to boil and … we make the tour.
