Do you try to keep cockroaches away from your home but are always unsuccessful? This is because once cockroaches make their home at a place, it becomes next to impossible to kick them out. They infest the whole house, and snack on the food, electronics, newspapers, furniture, garden, and what not!
While there are a number of insecticides available in the market, one of their major cons is that they are made up of harmful chemicals. So, how do we get rid of those pesky insects?
Do not worry. You can make a natural cockroach killer and keep these creepy creatures at bay. Here’s the recipe to prepare this mixture.
What You Require
- Borax or boric acid powder – 50 grams
- Raw egg yolk – 1
How To Make It
1. Take a bowl and mix the ingredients to form a thick paste.
2. Now, start making small round balls of this mixture.
3. Let the balls dry for around half an hour.
4. Keep these balls around your home, in the shelves, kitchen, and wherever you notice an infestation of cockroaches.
The cockroaches will eventually come in contact with these balls. And in the process, they will get stuck to the balls and get killed due to the boric acid.
You may not notice the trick working initially. But, after few days or a week, you will see dead insects on the floor. Soon, they will disappear completely.
There is a possibility that female cockroaches might lay eggs around the house. So, repeat the procedure every three to four months. These boric acid balls are totally harmless for pets or humans, so it is safe to keep them around your house.
