Getting cockroaches out of your apartment can be difficult. These tenacious and nasty pests can appear even in a clean home. But there is an easy way to get rid of them quickly and without chemicals. Try this comprehensive life hack and the cockroaches will disappear in a few days.
Step 1: Limit access to water
Cockroaches cannot survive without water, so the first step is to limit access to water. Wipe sinks thoroughly and dry all surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen to ensure no traces of moisture remain.
Step 2: Prepare the bait
For this life hack, you need to prepare a sweet bait with boric acid, which will help catch the pests. Take a bowl and pour some water into it. Add vanillin (for flavor), 1 tablespoon of sugar, flour and boric acid solution. Knead the dough and form small balls.
Step 3: Place the bait
Scatter these balls in places where cockroaches most often appear – near sinks, under the refrigerator, in cabinets. These boric acid balls will become a bait for parasites. After they eat them, they will look for water.
Step 4: Trap
To catch cockroaches, create a simple trap. Take a glass jar, grease its neck with vegetable oil, fill it with water and place it in the kitchen or other place where they live.
After the cockroaches eat the bait, they will look for water and get caught in the trap. Because of the oil on the neck of the jar, they will not be able to escape, and you will only have to get rid of the trapped pests.
By repeating this process for several days in a row, you can get rid of cockroaches without the use of toxic chemicals. This is a simple and effective method that does not require much time or money.
