Homemade Remedy to Repel Rats and Cockroaches

Mix the borax and sugar in a bowl.

Add a little water to make a thick paste.

Place small amounts of the mixture in shallow containers or on cardboard pieces near areas where you notice rats or cockroaches.

Keep the mixture out of reach of children and pets.

Reapply every few days until you see a reduction in pest activity.

Safety Tips:

Do not ingest borax or let pets or kids access it.

Use gloves when handling the mixture.

Seal any food items nearby to prevent contamination.

This method is effective for controlling minor infestations naturally and can be combined with proper sanitation (removing food crumbs, sealing trash bins) for best results.
