Home Remedies To Kill Cockroaches

Introduction

Cockroaches are one of the most common household pests to infest homes, and many people don’t want to pay for professional pest control services. If you have a cockroach problem and you’re looking for some cheaper home remedies, then you’ve come to the right place! Here are some at-home remedies that might help you get rid of your roach problem:

Boric acid

Boric acid is a powder that can be mixed with water to form a paste. It’s one of the most effective natural methods to kill roaches, but it’s also toxic to humans and pets. Boric acid should be used only as directed by an exterminator or pest control company.

Here are some ways to use boric acid:

• You can mix 1/4 cup of borax with 2 cups of warm water in a jar or bottle and leave it in areas where roaches could be hiding—under sinks, stoves or refrigerators; along baseboards; in cabinets; around pipes and drains; near cracks in walls or floors; close to wall outlets; behind appliances such as televisions, radios and stereos; under furniture such as beds or couches (but not directly on them). Leave this mixture out overnight so that it has time to work its magic on the bug population before you go back into those areas during daylight hours. Then discard any remaining mixture inside the jar or bottle after 12 hours have passed—don’t reuse it! If you need more help finding these places where cockroaches like hideout during daylight hours (they’re less likely to come out when people are walking around), ask someone at your local hardware store for advice on where they might be found nearby (this person may also sell traps specifically designed for killing flying insects like fruit flies).

Sugar and baking soda

Combine the following ingredients:

• A cup of sugar and a cup of baking soda
• Water (enough to make a paste)
• Mix well and spread around your home. Leave for several days, then vacuum up the mixture. Repeat if necessary. You can also use this mixture to kill ants if you find that they are coming into your home via one or more cracks in foundations or walls.

Cayenne pepper

Cayenne pepper is a natural insecticide that can be used to kill cockroaches. This spicy ingredient will not only eliminate the roaches but also repel them, preventing the infestation from happening again.

To make a cayenne-based spray, mix 1/2 cup water with 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and 2 drops of soap in a spray bottle. Spray this solution on areas where you’ve seen cockroaches lurking. You can also use it to make your own cockroach traps by mixing 3 parts flour with 1 part water until it forms dough; roll out into sheets about 1/4 inch thick or less; cut into strips about 4 inches long; place them around your home near suspected areas where these pests may frequent; sprinkle some ground cinnamon on top for added protection against roaches (the cinnamon will keep others from coming near).

Ammonia

Ammonia is a natural insecticide, and it’s toxic to cockroaches. It’s also nontoxic to humans, pets, and plants. To use ammonia in an indoor setting:

• Place a bowl of ammonia on the floor of your kitchen or bathroom near where you often see cockroaches.
• Let the bowl sit overnight so that the fumes can build up inside the room. This will make foraging for food more unpleasant for roaches than it already is!
• Be sure not to mix ammonia with any other cleaning products because this can cause chemical reactions that may be harmful if inhaled or ingested by people or animals who come into contact with it later on down the road (or even sooner).

Food-grade diatomaceous earth

What is food grade diatomaceous earth?

Diatomaceous earth is a white powder made from the fossilized remains of diatoms (microscopic unicellular algae). It’s made up of tiny, razor-sharp particles that cut through insect exoskeletons and dehydrate them. In other words, it’s an effective way to kill cockroaches by drying them out from the inside out.

How does it work?

The tiny particles in diatomaceous earth are sharp enough for insects to pick up on them, but not sharp enough for humans or pets to feel any pain when they’re exposed to it—and since many insects like cockroaches don’t have an exoskeleton like we do, being cut by these particles causes internal bleeding and death within hours (or even minutes) after coming into contact with the substance. As soon as one cockroach picks up some of this stuff on its body or legs and goes back into its nest or hiding place where other roaches live or travel through, they too will be harmed by coming into contact with their contaminated brethren and dying off themselves—effectively killing off the entire colony within 24 hours!

Home remedies for cockroach eradication include boric acid, sugar and baking soda, cayenne pepper, ammonia and food grade diatomaceous earth.

Cockroaches can be an annoying pest to deal with. They are not only a nuisance, but they can also cause health problems for you and your family. There are several home remedies for cockroach eradication that you should try out before calling in an exterminator or buying chemical sprays.

First, boric acid is poisonous to insects and will kill them if ingested by them. It is recommended that you use only food grade boric acid as it contains no other ingredients that might harm humans or pets in any way.

Second, sugar and baking soda can be used to make a paste which will then be applied to areas where the roaches might hide or travel through so that they ingest it while walking around on top of this deadly substance! This recipe will kill the roaches quickly once consumed; however, since it is made from two common household items (sugar being one), there’s no need for extra chemicals in your house! Just remember: if you’re going to put something sticky down like this onto surfaces where people walk often then make sure everyone knows how dangerous these “traps” really are before using them regularly throughout their homes.”

Conclusion

All of these remedies are natural, affordable ways to get rid of roaches. They all require diligence and patience on your part, but if you follow the directions properly, you should be able to eradicate your roach problem for good. While getting rid of cockroaches is not a one-time thing—you have to do it over and over again in order for it to work—it can be the first step toward eradicating them from your house completely.
