Make homemade roach killer to exterminate roaches.
Even one roach in your home is too many. When you have cockroaches infesting your kitchen and bathroom areas, it is time to take quick action to remove them permanently. Instead of purchasing ready-made roach killers with powerful and possibly dangerous ingredients, make roach killer to use in your home. Roach killers made with common household ingredients can often be just as effective as commercial roach killers can. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Mix equal parts of sugar and baking soda together in a small bowl. Alternatively, mix equal parts of powdered sugar and boric acid together in the bowl. Making 1 cup of bait (1/2-cup of each ingredient) should be enough to set traps around an average home. Stir the ingredients lightly with a large spoon to ensure that you completely incorporate the ingredients together.
2. Cover the bottom of the small plastic containers with approximately 1/4- to 1/2-inch of either mixture. You will need one plastic container for every area where you often see roaches (perhaps three in the kitchen, two in each bathroom and one or two containers elsewhere in the home).
3. Set the uncovered plastic containers out in areas where you notice cockroach infestations. Common areas for roach infestations are dark or damp places. Place the traps under sinks, under the stove and refrigerator, around water pipes, along baseboards and inside cupboards. If the plastic container is too large to fit into a particular spot, use scissors to cut the sides of the container down so it will fit (under the stove or refrigerator, for example).
4. Replace the mixture as it dwindles in the containers to keep it fresh.
