Here’s the bottom line about cockroaches—they are stubborn, crazy, and incredibly hard to kill. The problem with most roach sprays is that they will have you trying to kill roaches from here to kingdom come. Most last only a few weeks, if that. And then you’ve got to keep spraying them over and over again. With our Cockroach Repellent, there’s no need for repeated applications. You spray it once and you’ll never have roaches again! There are many plants which have proven to be effective repellents of cockroaches. These include mint, basil, cinnamon, tansy and lavender. In addition, there are also a number of essential oils that can offer some relief from an infestation or just prevent an infestation from happening. The most popular essential oils for this purpose include citronella, peppermint, geranium and clove. Cockroaches have this rep, right? They’re creepy, gross, and like to live in the dark places in our homes. A least 32% of Americans (that’s more than 80 million people) are creeped out by them, too. So we can’t blame you if you’ve been in full on cockroach war mode since you saw one sneak across your floor. Believe it or not, as disgusting as it is to even think about: a little roach can hatch up to 50 babies every few months, and populations can double every six weeks! Most households around the world are plagued by these disgusting, disease-carrying pests that can be a real menace in your homes. Cockroaches will not only invade your kitchen, but also make their way to every nook and cranny of your house. They can even get into the living room and bedroom as they look for dark corners and places to hide from you. They are nocturnal, which means they come out when you are asleep and search for food in the darkness. They also multiply every six to twelve months, making them a very big problem as their population multiplies as well as their number.

Cockroach Repellent Natural

Introduction

Although cockroaches generally do not pose a substantial health hazard, they can be an unsightly and unpleasant pest in your home. Cockroaches are also infamous for their ability to survive in virtually any environment. These resilient pests are capable of surviving without food for months at a time, so it’s important to use more than one method of extermination. While there are numerous chemical-based options on the market for repelling cockroaches, you can also employ some homemade alternatives that may work just as well or better.

Baking soda and sugar

• Mix ½ cup of baking soda and ½ cup of sugar in a bowl.
• Spread on the floor.
• Leave overnight, then vacuum up the next day.* You can also spread this mixture in your kitchen cabinets, where roaches like to hide out during the day.

Catnip tea

Catnip tea is a natural insecticide, repellent and cockroach killer. It’s also safe to use around your family (it has no harmful effects), so it’s perfect for those who want a chemical-free home.

Catnip tea is one of the best natural ways to get rid of cockroaches because it contains thymol, which has been used for centuries to kill insects. The leaves from the catnip plant are dried and crushed into a powder that can be mixed with water or placed in containers around your home as an insecticide. Catnip tea works by attracting roaches with its smell and killing them when they eat it or drink from the container where you’ve mixed it with water—which makes sense since anything that smells delicious will attract bugs!

Coffee grounds

Coffee grounds are a great way to repel cockroaches.

Cockroaches simply do not like the smell of coffee grounds or the taste. The pests will avoid areas where they might be exposed to the repellent agent and if they do come in contact with it, they immediately retreat because of its bitter flavor and strong aroma.

Diatomaceous earth

Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring mineral made up of tiny fossilized bodies of diatoms, which are microscopic algae. Diatoms are a natural pest control and cockroach repellent because they can absorb the oils in roach bodies, causing the roaches to die from dehydration.

To use diatomaceous earth as a cockroach repellent: spread over areas where you see cockroaches infesting your home (around baseboards and corners), or mix 1/2 teaspoon with 2 tablespoons of water and spray around entry points or inside cracks.

Cedar wood

Cedar wood is a natural cockroach repellent. Cedar wood is also known as the “wood of life.” It has been used to repel insects for centuries. The essential oil of cedar is an excellent insecticide and nematicide, killing roaches, ants and other pests that may be nesting in your home.

Cedar wood can be found in many different forms – pellets, chips and shavings (which can be purchased at your local hardware store), or logs cut from a live tree. If you choose to use the log method please make sure you purchase one from either a reputable garden center or lumber yard; if not it could introduce unwanted pests such as termites into your home!

To use this repellent effectively simply place some shavings under furniture legs or where cockroaches tend to gather – along baseboards or on top of cabinets/closets floors etc., just remember not to light them on fire! You may want to check out our article about natural ways to get rid of roaches here before doing anything else because they’re often attracted by cedar’s pleasant aroma which means they’ll follow it anywhere so keep this in mind when placing your traps near food sources like garbage cans etc..

Orange peel and cucumber skin

• You can use orange peel and cucumber skin as cockroach repellent.
• Simply place orange peel and cucumber skin in areas where you would like to keep the roaches away.

You can use natural ingredients to repel cockroaches.

You can use natural ingredients to repel cockroaches. Cockroach repellent is not just effective, it’s also safer than commercial pesticides and less toxic. There are a variety of homemade roach repellents that have been shown to be effective at keeping these pests out of your home, including:

• Baking soda – Baking soda is perhaps the best-known natural roach repellent and it works by dehydrating them so they don’t want to come near your house anymore. Mix some baking soda with water in a spray bottle, shake well and then spray around windowsills, doorways or anywhere else you’re seeing cockroaches coming inside from. Because baking soda has no smell and is non-toxic for humans or pets (it’s even safe for children!), this is one of the safest ways you can keep roaches out of your home without having to worry about exposing yourself or others nearby the chemicals found in commercial pesticides.[1]

If you’re looking for ways to repel cockroaches without using harmful chemicals, try out these natural options. You can deter roaches with tea or coffee, which will smell good to you but not them. You can sprinkle diatomaceous earth around your kitchen and bathroom to kill pests if they come in contact with it—though make sure it stays out of reach of your pets!
