This type of leaf is the nemesis of cockroaches

Cockroaches are annoying insects. They reproduce quickly, carry a lot of bacteria, and can be harmful to human health. They destroy food as well as some other household items. To repel cockroaches, you can apply the following tips.

– Repel cockroaches with scent

Cockroaches are very sensitive to scents. You can choose some natural ingredients with characteristic, prominent scents to repel cockroaches, such as tea leaves, mint leaves, perilla, bay leaves, coffee grounds, onions, garlic, lemon, and cucumber.

The method is very simple. You can dry orange or lemon peels and place them in the corners of the house. Peeled cucumber peels can be placed on a plate and left in places where cockroaches often gather. Crushing a handful of mint leaves, perilla, or bay leaves, chopping onions, garlic, and leaving them in the house also helps repel cockroaches very effectively. You should place these ingredients in places where cockroaches gather, such as kitchen cabinets, under the sink, etc. to maximize their effectiveness.

Make a Cockroach Trap
Use banana peels, sugar, and detergentAfter eating bananas, don’t rush to throw away the peels. Take the banana peels, cut them into small pieces, mix them with sugar and detergent, and mix well. Divide this mixture into several parts. Leave them in places where cockroaches often go.

Cockroaches smell the aroma of sugar and bananas and will come to find food. At that time, the detergent in the above mixture will help kill them.

– Use a mixture of baking soda and sugar

Mix sugar and baking soda in a 1:1 ratio and place them in places where cockroaches often go, such as kitchen cabinets and kitchen corners. Place a small bowl of water next to it. Cockroaches will be thirsty after eating the mixture of sugar and baking soda and look for water to drink.
Sugar will help attract cockroaches. Meanwhile, baking soda makes cockroaches bloated and slowly die.

Notes to Prevent Cockroaches from Breeding

No matter what cockroach extermination method you use, you need to pay attention to keeping your house clean and dry by cleaning regularly. Food should be covered and kept in the cupboard to avoid attracting cockroaches.

Use a trash can with a lid and do not leave trash overnight (especially food waste) to avoid creating conditions for cockroaches to find food and have the opportunity to breed more
