### **1. Bay Leaves: Nature’s Hidden Repellent**
**How it works:**
Bay leaves contain compounds with a scent that cockroaches can’t stand — especially eucalyptol. While humans enjoy their earthy, herbal aroma, cockroaches will avoid any area where bay leaves are placed.
**How to use:**
* Crush a handful of dried bay leaves and sprinkle them in cockroach-prone areas: under the sink, behind appliances, in cabinets, and near garbage bins.
* Replace the leaves every two weeks for best results.
**Bonus tip:**
Bay leaves are completely non-toxic, making them ideal for use in kitchens and near children or pets.

* Place the mixture in corners, under sinks, and behind appliances where cockroach activity is common.
* Replace every few days to maintain effectiveness.
**Why it’s great:**
This method is inexpensive, easy to make, and doesn’t involve any harmful chemicals.
