  • Don’t place bait directly on surfaces where you prepare food.

    • ✅ Why This Works

    • Sugar and flour attract cockroaches, mimicking a food source.
    • Boric acid acts as a slow-acting poison. Roaches ingest it, carry it back to their nest, and spread it to others — reducing the infestation over time.

    This method doesn’t provide instant results, but it’s highly effective with consistent use over a few days to a couple of weeks.

    🧼 Bonus Tips to Keep Cockroaches Away

    • Wipe kitchen counters and sweep floors daily.
    • Take out the trash regularly and keep lids sealed.
    • Fix leaks and eliminate damp areas.
    • Store food in airtight containers.
    • Declutter areas where roaches can hide (like under sinks or in cabinets).

    🌿 Natural Alternatives (Optional Add-Ons)

    If you prefer chemical-free solutions, try these:

    • Bay leaves – Roaches dislike the smell. Place them in cabinets and corners.
    • Cucumber peels – Some people say roaches avoid them.
    • Essential oils – Peppermint or eucalyptus oil mixed with water and sprayed around entry points can help deter them.
