Cockroaches have an incredible survival mechanism that allows them to get through one of the most difficult environments to survive in. Cockroaches will get inside the property for food, water, moisture, and warmth. These cockroaches will often end up in the kitchen and in the bathrooms because they have everything that these cockroaches need from food to water, warmth and moisture. Cockroaches will be often seen in secluded areas like drawers, cabinets, pantries, the sink area, and even under electrical appliances like the fridge and the stove.
This is because cockroaches will also flock to places where grease in high in abundance. Cockroaches will also hide behind these appliances and as a result, most people will never often see a cockroach unless the infestation gets to such a level that you will see cockroaches outside. Cockroaches are nocturnal insects and will often be active during the nighttime. If you suspect that you have a cockroach issue then brace to see the worst since the cockroaches will be in a frenzy and a free-for-all.
So now that you know a bit about cockroaches, you’ll probably wonder how to get rid of cockroaches in kitchens naturally!
Bay Leaves
Bay leaves are often used in Asian cooking to take off the edge of bitterness, but did you know that these wonderful leavy cooking ingredients can also be used as effective deterrents? The downside of using bay leaves is that their potency wears off as time pass. Bay leaves will stay good for about a year. The quality of the bay leaves also plays an important role.
Soap and Water
Whoever wants to get their hands dirty, should probably wash their hands with water and soap afterwards. Well, here you can use water and soap as an effective cockroach repellant. All you need is a cup of water and half a cup of liquid detergent. The reason why this is effective is that the water and soap will penetrate the exoskeleton and renders the cockroach basically paralyzed.
Borax with an Attractant
Borax kills, but borax alone does not attract, and for that, you will have to trick these cockroaches with bait. It may seem counterintuitive, but you can combine borax with powdered sugar. Cockroaches will eat powdered sugar and also will eat from borax. It will meet somewhat of a blissful death.
