Mix 1 part sugar and 1 part baking soda with 1 part borax. The sugar attracts the cockroaches, while the baking soda and borax work to eliminate them.
Place in Strategic Locations:
Place small amounts of the mixture in areas where you have seen cockroaches or where they might enter, such as along baseboards, in corners, or near entry points. Make sure to keep the mixture in places out of reach of children or pets.
Use Essential Oils (Optional):
If you want to add an extra layer of protection, mix a few drops of essential oils like peppermint or eucalyptus into the solution. Cockroaches are repelled by the strong scent of these oils, helping keep them away from your kitchen.
Set Traps:
If you're dealing with an infestation, you can set small traps using the same mixture. Combine the bait with a little water to create a paste, then place the paste in a shallow container. The cockroaches will be drawn to it, eat it, and eventually die.
Regular Cleaning:
Clean your kitchen thoroughly and frequently, as cockroaches are attracted to food residue and crumbs. Wipe down surfaces, vacuum floors, and take out the trash regularly to eliminate any food sources.
