A Simple and Cheap Way to Get Rid of Cockroaches From Your Home
Cockroaches are one of the most unwelcome house guests — fast, sneaky, and notoriously hard to eliminate once they settle in. While store-bought insecticides may offer short-term relief, they often come with harsh chemicals and unpleasant fumes. The good news? There’s a simple, cheap, and effective homemade solution that can help you get rid of cockroaches for good — safely and naturally.
This tried-and-true method uses ingredients you likely already have at home, and it’s incredibly easy to put into action.
Why This DIY Solution Works
The method relies on boric acid and sugar, a powerful combination that attracts and kills cockroaches at the source:
- Sugar acts as bait, drawing the cockroaches in.
- Boric acid is toxic to roaches but safe for humans and pets when used correctly. It sticks to their bodies and is ingested when they groom themselves, leading to their elimination.
What You’ll Need
- 1 part boric acid (available at most pharmacies or hardware stores)
- 1 part sugar (white or brown)
- A few drops of water (optional, for making dough balls)
- Small lids, jar caps, or pieces of cardboard (to hold the bait)
How to Make the Homemade Cockroach Bait
Step-by-Step Instructions:
