Introduction
Within the framework of this article, we will not focus your attention on professional cockroach remedies sold in specialized stores. Here we are interested in the people's fight against these pests. So, here are some time-tested "recipes".
How to effectively deal with cockroaches at home?
- The best remedy for "red bandits" is the well-known boric acid. Mix 40 grams of this poison with egg yolk. Make balls out of this mixture and place them in the places where cockroaches are most concentrated.
- 20 grams of flour mixed with 20 grams of boric acid, pour 80 grams of boiling water and bring to a boil. When the poison has cooled a little, apply it with a brush to those places where cockroaches are most active.
- Add 20grams of the same boric acid in hot mashed potatoes (100 gr.). Top it all with 5 grams of sunflower oil. Sort the resulting poison into pieces of paper, spreading them around the apartment in those places where cockroaches are most active.
- How to deal with cockroaches at home yet? Very simple! Soak bread slices in a special solution made from boric acid (1 teaspoon) and water (1 cup). This is just a killer "delicacy" for cockroaches!
- Did you know that one of the favorite places for cockroaches is the rubber seals on the refrigerator door? To expel insects from there, defrost the refrigerator, wash it, and then wipe these gaskets with boric ointment (5%). After that, you will never see these unpleasant creatures in the refrigerator.
Note that any recipe in which boric acid appears does an excellent job of dealing with cockroaches in an apartment. From such folk "recipes" red pests will die in about a week. Remember that this poison is absolutely not harmful to humans.
How to deal with cockroaches in an apartment with other folk remedies?
- We take a half-liter jar (1 liter will do) and make a cockroach trap out of it. We grease the neck of the jar from the inside with petroleum jelly, and put a piece of freshly baked bread inside - the most favorite cockroach delicacy. Red parasites will climb into the jar, but they will not be able to get out again.
- There is not reallythe standard way to deal with cockroaches in an apartment. This is a frost that has been tested for centuries! Yes, friends, that's right! Back in the days of Ancient Russia, residents of various villages completely destroyed cockroaches in this simple and trivial way. So, we fight with the "red bandits" with the help of the cold: wait until it gets very cold outside the window, and then open all the windows and doors wide open. Parasites will die instantly! It is worth noting that some insects die at 5 degrees Celsius. If the ambient temperature becomes minus, the cockroaches will die in a matter of minutes.
