SUMMARY:
-Infestations usually start in the kitchen, especially in those dark hard-to-clean spaces behind and under cabinets and appliances.
-Try tucking bay leaves or leaving a clump in those hard-to-clean places. This method may take a lot of bay leaves and patience, but it’s a nice natural way to send roaches packing.
-You can use garlic- or onion powder, and sprinkle it in and around their favorite hangout spots.
-The lemon juice will effectively repel these pests, and your kitchen will smell amazing too!
-Just fill a medium-sized spray bottle with mostly vinegar, and add enough drops of peppermint essential oil so that you can smell it. Spray your kitchen and bathroom.
-Neem oil keeps away a lot of insects and pests because it contains a certain chemical that’s poisonous to them.
-Cockroaches and similar pests breathe through the pores of their shells and skin, so when they start crawling around in this soap, the borax will get the job done.
-Put some fresh catnip leaves in a sachet – you know, those little sheer drawstring bags usually used for steeping tea – or other porous bag. Cockroaches can’t stand it.
-Once you’ve put the traps together, place them in the spots where you think the roaches are coming from, like nice dark places for them to look for food and water.
-The sweet sugary smell attracts roaches, so they eat the powder mixture. Once they take a drink of water, it reacts with the baking soda, and, well, let’s just say the roaches get a bad case of bubble guts.
-Cut a sizable strip of duct tape off the roll, maybe about the length of your forearm. Put the strip sticky-side-up, and fold down each end so that it’s easy to pick up and dispose of later on. You’ll also need a bait.
-The cockroaches will climb in to go after the bait, but they won’t be able to climb back up the slippery surface to escape.
-Roaches are drawn to the smell of coffee too, so they’ll climb in after the grounds but won’t be able to get out since they’re not the greatest of swimmers.
-If you try any of these natural remedies over time but it doesn’t seem to make a difference, then it’s probably high-time to call a professional!

For me personally, when I see a roach I pour a trail of gasoline through my house and set it all on fire

[princesslupi]

You might be able to get rid of roaches in your home temporarily, because the neighbors usually have roaches too. So its always a battle of the bugs.

i suggest everyone to use bay leaves . The odor of the leaves drives away all the cockroaches. i have not seen a single cockroach in my house since i used this method. You just need to crush or squeez the leaves and leave it in the places where they live. The result aftermath will definitely satisfy

[jeannes]

Scrolling down to see if the recipe actually works

[kikikkiki]

I was like let me just pray cuz am tired of this !🤦‍♀️

[marysearle]

I tried mixing baking powder with sugar in a cap with another cap with water next to it and threw the roaches in my kitchen a big nighttime banquet. The bugs came swarming out of everywhere for the feast. The even fought over the bait! The next day my kitchen was quiet. Most of the bugs were gone. For best results, be sure there are no other attractants around.
