“A dirty kitchen that is littered with left-over food and freely available pet food needs serious intervention to deny these unsavoury critters from invading a home and setting up a colony.”
also advised that you “get serious about storing food” to eliminate potential food sources for the roaches and clean kitchen appliances. “Store perishables in the refrigerator, and avoid leaving fruits and vegetables out on the counter.” Lastly, consider employing these natural home remedies to get rid of cockroaches
Though it is said to be effective, affordable, safe for kids and pets, it can be messy, can require re-application and gives you extra work as you will have to locate and dispose of dead roaches after each DE treatment. 3. Boric Acid: While this naturally occuring compound is harmless to people and pets, it’s deadly for roaches. When cockroaches come into contact with boric acid, it sticks to their legs and wings. When they ingest the powder, it acts on the roach’s nervous and digestive systems – killing it rapidly.
5. Citrus: Citrus is a tasty treat for humans, but it’s a repellent to cockroaches. The smell of lemons, specifically, deters roaches but it will not kill them. Add a few drops of lemon oil to the water you use to mop your floors. The scent won’t be detectable to people, but it will send roaches packing.
