How to Keep Cockroaches Away from the Kitchen: The Only 100% Reliable Remedy

Remove piles of cardboard, paper, or clutter where roaches hide.

Seal cracks, crevices, and gaps in walls, cabinets, and around pipes using caulk or sealant.

Step 3: Use Bait Stations or Gel Baits
Place cockroach bait stations or gel baits in strategic areas like under sinks, behind appliances, and near baseboards. These attract and poison roaches, killing them and their colony gradually.

Step 4: When Needed, Call a Professional Exterminator
For persistent infestations, professional pest control treatments provide targeted, effective elimination. They use insect growth regulators and professional-grade treatments safe for homes.

Additional Natural Tips (Supportive but Not Alone Enough)
Keep bay leaves or cucumber peels in kitchen corners — these can repel roaches temporarily.

Use diatomaceous earth sprinkled in cracks — a natural powder that dehydrates insects.
