How to do it:
Choose a spray or powder insecticide that is specific to cockroaches.
Apply the insecticide to areas where cockroaches tend to live, such as along baseboards, behind appliances, and in cracks and crevices.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure safe and effective application.
5. Use Natural Remedies
For those who prefer to avoid chemicals, there are natural remedies that can help eliminate cockroaches.
How to do it:
Baking Soda and Sugar: Mix equal parts baking soda and sugar and place the mixture in shallow dishes. The roaches will consume the sugar and baking soda, causing a fatal reaction in their digestive system.
Boric Acid: Mix boric acid with sugar and water to create a paste. Apply this paste to areas where the roaches are crawling. Boric acid is toxic to roaches and kills them quickly.
Peppermint Essential Oil: Mix a few drops of peppermint essential oil with water in a spray bottle and spray in areas where cockroaches are present. Peppermint acts as a natural repellent.
6. Call a Professional Exterminator
If the infestation is severe, it may be necessary to call a professional exterminator.
How to do it:
Look for local exterminators who specialize in cockroach control.
Make sure they use safe and effective methods and offer a guarantee of results.
A professional will be able to assess the extent of the infestation and apply stronger treatments if necessary.
