Dealing with Cockroaches: An Effective Solution
I despise all creepy crawlies, especially cockroaches. They thrive in cool, damp, and dark places, and encountering them in your home is unsettling. If you’ve had enough of seeing cockroaches in your basement, closets, or under the kitchen sink, there’s a simple and affordable way to eliminate them.
The Boric Acid Solution
To create an effective cockroach killer, mix three tablespoons of boric acid with one egg yolk. Stir until you form a thick, dough-like consistency. Then, use a spoon to shape the mixture into small balls and place them on wax or parchment paper. Let them dry for about an hour.
Placement and Safety
Once the balls harden, place them in areas where you’ve seen roaches. Focus on cool, dark, and damp places. The roaches will eat the solution and die shortly after. If you have pets or small children, ensure these dough balls are out of their reach to prevent accidental consumption.
Repetition for Complete Eradication
You may need to repeat this method if female cockroaches have laid eggs. After one or two cycles, your home should be completely free of these unwanted pests.
