Cockroaches are among the most stubborn pests that infest our homes.
They are not the type of pests you would like to deal with in your home.
Moreover, when it comes to driving pests out from your home, roaches are among
the hectic pests you can deal with. However, if you can get a natural roach
repellent that is effective in driving the pests from your home, you will be
better off.
The following are among the best natural roach killer methods that can
help you in making your home a roach free place.
Bay leaves. Roaches don’t like the scent of Bay leaves. Just buy a bunch
of these leaves in a spice corner of any grocery store, and there you are with
a very effective natural roach killer for your home. Place the leaves in
cabinets and closets. Alternatively, you can crash the leaves and pack them in
small sachets before placing them in cabinets and closet. This is a good
natural roach repellent option to get rid of roaches in your kitchen cupboards.
Pepper spray. Just like the Bay leaves, roaches do not like red pepper.
Therefore, spraying the surfaces of your bathroom and kitchen with solutions
containing red pepper will make the roaches avoid the places and drive them
away. The classic recipe of making this natural roach repellent is mixing two
tablespoons of a mixture of vinegar and red pepper or Tabasco sauce with one
quart of water. Pour the mixture into a pump spray bottle and spray it on the
surfaces. However, you must wear a mask to protect yourself from directly
inhaling the pepper vapor, since it can make you sneeze if you inhale it
directly.
Other effective natural roach killer formulas are Cedar products and
Mint oil. They might look too simple, but when it comes to driving cockroaches
away from your home, they are just wonderful. They contain no toxic chemicals,
which makes them safe to use in your home at any time.
