Cockroaches live almost everywhere, the main thing is to be warm and damp. They live both in cities, populating not only individual houses, but even districts, and in rural areas. These insects have been known since ancient times. The red cockroach is familiar to many housewives, it is called the Prusak. This name of the cockroach, most likely, came from the mustache of this insect, which resembles the mustache of Prussian soldiers, Russian soldiers fought with it. These insects are amazingly tenacious.
How to get cockroaches out of folk remedies has been known for a long time. But the main key to success in the fight against these insects is the simultaneous struggle in all places where they settled at once. In the war against cockroaches, the main criterion for success is cleanliness. Insects should be deprived of water and food. Remove all food from the refrigerator. After eating, thoroughly wipe all tables and food preparation areas. The sink, after it has been used, must be wiped dry. And of course, there should be no leaking faucets,if any, they must be repaired or replaced. As for the trash can, it must be closed with a tight lid.
Some folk remedies for cockroaches are based on their temperature preferences. These insects do not tolerate cold, they cannot live in a house at temperatures below -7 degrees. Previously, in the villages of cockroaches, folk remedies were used everywhere, and one of them was freezing. In winter, people simply left their huts and did not heat the stoves for three days, during which time all the cockroaches died. This is a fairly efficient method. But in the conditions of modern city apartments, it is not always possible to use it.
From cockroaches folk remedies can be prepared on the basis of boric acid. That's just a momentary effect from them should not be expected. You can just sprinkle boric acid powder on the baseboards, around the sink, bath and toilet, but this does not look very neat, but you can do this if you are leaving for a while, for example, on vacation. In other cases, you can use balls based on boric acid. It's not hard to cook them. To do this, hard boil an egg and remove only the yolk. Mash it with a fork and add 30 g of boric acid powder. With wet hands (fingers should be moistened with water), roll up small balls, their diameter should be about one and a half centimeters. Such balls should be laid out in all places where harmful insects have been seen.
From cockroaches, folk remedies can be based on borax. It's sweet baitwhich attracts cockroaches, this tool has a detrimental effect on them. Like boric acid, borax will not immediately remove cockroaches. It is necessary to mix 3 parts of borax, 1 part of starch and 1 part of granulated sugar. This mixture should be sprinkled on baseboards and places where insects have been seen.
Do a little cosmetic work in the apartment. Determine where cockroaches can enter your home. Seal all small cracks and holes so that insects cannot enter through them. You can use folk remedies from cockroaches, and such minor repairs will serve as a prevention of the appearance of uninvited guests in your apartment. In addition, effective modern cockroach control products, such as ultrasonic devices, can now be found in stores.
