Don't rush to throw away leftover rice
To get rid of cockroaches without using toxic chemicals, you can apply the following method.
First, prepare a small bowl of cold rice. Then, add 1 spoon of detergent, 1 spoon of brown sugar and a little water and mix well. You can divide the rice into a few smaller plates and place them in the corners of the house, where cockroaches often pass by.
This is a simple and extremely effective method of killing cockroaches. Brown sugar has a light aroma and sweet taste that will act as an attractant for cockroaches. When eating rice mixed with detergent, the ingredients in the detergent will create a reaction in the cockroach's stomach and block their abdomen. This animal lives by breathing in the abdomen. When the abdomen is blocked, they will have no way to breathe.
In addition, you can also dissolve detergent with water and put the solution in a spray bottle. Spray soapy water where you see a lot of cockroaches.
Sprinkling soap powder in places where cockroaches often pass will also bring certain effects.
In addition, there are many other ways to kill cockroaches using other ingredients available in the house that you can refer to.
Kill cockroaches with flour, honey and borax
Mix borax, honey, flour in a ratio of 2:1:1 and then add clean water to create a thick mixture. Put this mixture in a small bowl and place it around the house, in places where cockroaches often go.
Honey has a fragrant, sweet taste that will help attract cockroaches. If you don't have honey, you can use sugar instead. Borax will kill cockroaches immediately after eating.
Kill cockroaches with baking soda and sugar
Mix sugar and baking soda in a ratio of 1:1 and place it in the corner of the house. Place a bowl of water next to it. After eating, cockroaches feel thirsty and go to drink water. Baking soda mixed with water will create gas in the cockroach's stomach, causing them to bloat. The more cockroaches eat, the harder it is to survive.
Kill cockroaches with onions, garlic, and pepper
Cockroaches hate the smell of these spices. You just need to grind half an onion, a clove of garlic (or squeeze the juice) and mix it with a teaspoon of ground pepper. Spray this mixture in places where cockroaches often pass by. After a few times, cockroaches will no longer dare to come to your house.
Kill cockroaches with orange and lemon peels
Orange and lemon peels have a mild aroma from essential oils. Cockroaches and many other insects do not like this smell. You can dry orange and lemon peels and place them in places where cockroaches often appear, they will not dare to bother your house anymore.
