3Cockroaches are those annoying pests who dwell in
your house, but very difficult to remove.
Getting rid of roaches naturally can be a slow
process. Roaches are perhaps the most despised
pests on the planet. Not only do they carry
diseases, but theyre associated with a dirty
environment. Getting rid of them naturally not
only keeps your family from being exposed to
harmful chemicals, but it can also prevent the
problem from reoccurring. So how do you do it?
4Clean Your House
- A clean house is key to keeping cockroaches away,
and the first place to start is the kitchen.
Wash your dishes and put food away promptly
after meals. Clean up crumbs and spills right
away, and generally keep the area clean. Pay
special attention to range tops, as cockroaches
love grease. That means wiping down the counters
each night, never leaving dirty dishes in the
sink, making sure the stove top is clean and
sweeping the floors before you go to bed.
5Eliminate Water Sources
Roaches are attracted to moisture and water from
leaks in pipes. That's why you often find them
scurrying under your sink. Find all water leaks
in your house and fix them. Before bed, dry all
sinks, tubs and showers completely and plug the
drains. Don't let water stand in your sink and
don't over water indoor plants.
6Hide Your Food
Keep food in sealed container. Roaches are small
enough to get into the cardboard packaging or
loosely closed boxes and bags. Store food in
metal, glass, or hard plastic sealable containers.
7Use Cockroach Baits
You can use several kinds of baits to catch them
and kill them. There are several kinds of
insecticides and roach killing poisons available
in the market. Place the bait in an area where
you know cockroaches will encounter it, such as
along baseboards, under the sink, and in
corners. It should be as close to the nest as
possible, so that as many roaches as possible
will eat it and take it back to the nest. Once
the roaches eat the poison, they go outside and
then they die.
8Use Boric Acid
Mix three parts boric acid with one part powdered
sugar. The sugar lures the roaches, while the
boric acid kills them. The sugar and flour
attracts the roaches, and the boric acid kills
them. Sprinkle the powder in the backs of
drawers and cabinets, under the refrigerator,
under the stove, and so on.
9Use Insecticides
There are several insecticides available in the
market which can destroy the bugs. These are
chemical products which are very effective on
them. You can spray the insecticides wherever you
find them and thus you can remove the
cockroaches from kitchen. Apply along
baseboards, in cracks and crevices,under
appliances, around door frames, window frames
and in areas where utilities enter into the
structure.
