Life hackers advised preparing a remedy from vinegar, garlic and hot pepper that will make cockroaches disappear from the room. The fact is that the pungent smell of garlic irritates insects, and vinegar destroys bacteria and traces that cockroaches use to track each other.
Pepper contains capsaicin, a substance that causes severe irritation to the respiratory tract and nervous system of cockroaches, causing them to avoid treated surfaces.

“If cockroaches have a constant food source, no trick will last long, so cleanliness is the first and most important step in pest control,” they noted in the video.
