Summer – and here they are, red guests, as if by invitation. Either they rustle in the kitchen, then hide in the toilet, then they run out of the bath. Remove, wash – does not help. But one home method that our grandmothers and great -grandmothers also safely used the problem: without chemistry, stink and expensive traps.
Important! The first thing is cleaning, no means will work without it. All the crumbs, the remains of food, even drops on the table are a treat for cockroaches. Wipe the cabinets, window sills, a place under the sink, ventilation grilles. If you do not leave to eat and drink, they will have nothing to catch.
And now – a secret “treat”:
- Boil the egg and take only the yolk from it.
- Mix with 1 bag of boric acid – it is sold in a pharmacy and costs mere pennies.
- Roll up small balls from this mass.
- Lay them in secluded places: under the sink, behind skirting boards, in ventilation, in the corners of the cabinets – where they saw cockroaches.
Why the method works
The yolk attracts with smell, and boric acid invisibly destroys digestion. After a couple of days, red “friends” are not visible. But if there are children or animals at home, put the balls higher so that the home does not get.
If there is no time, take a raw egg, mix it again with boric acid, also effective. And if you want it without an occurrence at all, just sprinkle boric acid with a thin strip along the skirting boards, pipes, under the sink. The cockroach runs, the powder sticks to the paws – it begins to clean, and the acid will enter the stomach. The main thing is not to pour a slide, otherwise it will run into it.
And for prevention, so that the “comrades” are no longer looking at you:
Wipe the dry sinks and floor in the bathroom.
Close plums at night.
Put the grid for ventilation and windows.
Set all the cracks.
All together – cleaning + acid + overlapping water will certainly help, the apartment becomes not cockroaches, but again yours.
