Placement: Place the mixture in areas where roaches tend to hide, like under the sink, along the edges of cabinets, and near cracks or gaps in the walls.
Reapplication: Reapply the mixture every couple of weeks to maintain its effectiveness.
Variations
Cinnamon or Bay Leaves: For an extra natural repellent, try placing cinnamon sticks or bay leaves in cabinets and drawers. Cockroaches dislike the smell, making it an excellent deterrent.
Diatomaceous Earth: This is another natural product that can be sprinkled in affected areas. It’s harmless to humans and pets but deadly to cockroaches.
