Keeping the house clean and tidy is an important first step to control cockroaches. We should always clean all the rooms, paying special attention to the bathroom and kitchen. These two places should be cleaned up, because the sink and sewer are the places where cockroaches are most likely to haunt. Clean up the garbage every day. Don't let the garbage pile up like a mountain, which will attract cockroaches. In addition, the kitchen, bathroom floor, sink and sewer should be disinfected with 84 disinfectant or bleach frequently, which can kill cockroaches' germs and eggs. If these areas are kept clean and hygienic, cockroaches will lose their hiding places and the number of cockroaches in their homes will be greatly reduced. Besides keeping clean, we can also use some natural methods to drive away cockroaches. I often drive away cockroaches at home with smells that cockroaches don't like. For example, I will put some mint leaves, cloves and soap in the corner of the kitchen and bathroom. These smells can effectively drive away cockroaches. I will also sprinkle some red pepper or black pepper in the cracks that are easy to hide, which also has a good driving effect on cockroaches. I find it useful to put a few slices of lemon or onion in the sink. Cockroaches hate these smells. If these natural smells are often used to drive away cockroaches, the number of cockroaches at home can be significantly reduced. Moreover, these methods are safe for people and pets and will not cause harm. I often do this, and the effect is really obvious. I can feel that there are obviously fewer cockroaches at home. You can also try these natural methods to drive away cockroaches. I have tried a very simple and practical cockroach trapping method myself, that is, making a cockroach bait containing borax. I mixed some batter and sugar in a small bowl, then added a proper amount of borax powder and stirred it evenly to make a soft food bait. Then I will put this bait bowl in the corner of the kitchen or bathroom, where cockroaches often haunt. Cockroaches will be attracted by the taste of sweets and eat the bait. But borax is poison to cockroaches. After eating them, they will die of poisoning. I observed that after putting this bait, the number of cockroaches at home decreased significantly, and dead cockroaches were often seen. So this is a very effective and simple cockroach trapping method. It is also environmentally friendly and does no harm to people and pets. In addition, it is also an important part of cockroach control to check the possible invasion path of cockroaches at home and block it. I will carefully check whether there is a gap between the sink interface and the sewer mouth of the kitchen and bathroom, and then fill it with silica gel without leaving any gap. I will also block the small gaps in doors and windows with sponge strips or sealing strips to prevent cockroaches from crawling in from the outside. I found that after doing these sealing jobs, I obviously felt that the number of cockroaches in my home had decreased a lot. So, like me, you can check all possible gaps in your home, carefully plug the seals and cut off the invasion path of cockroaches. This can greatly reduce the number of cockroaches in our house. If you really can't stand the cockroach problem at home, you can also use some environmentally friendly pesticides, but you must choose carefully. Priority should be given to pesticides with natural plant extracts as the main components, which have little impact on human health but have good effects on cockroaches. I used an insecticide containing chrysanthemum extract and sprayed it on the place where cockroaches appeared. After two days, the number of cockroaches decreased obviously. You can also choose some insecticidal sprays based on vanilla and flower essence. I have tried all these sprays, and they all have good insecticidal effects, and there will be no pungent chemical smell in the room. Never choose that kind of highly toxic and powerful pesticide, which is also harmful to our health. I suggest that we should focus on improving sanitary conditions and blocking the invasion route of cockroaches. This is the fundamental solution. At the same time, with the use of some environmentally friendly pesticides, cockroaches at home can be removed efficiently and safely. By adhering to these methods, we can enjoy a clean living environment without cockroaches!
