Cockroaches are a fairly common problem. There are a lot of special chemicals from cockroaches, but their feasibility and harmlessness is debatable. The choice of methods is great enough - from modest boxes with sticky tape inside to all sorts of aromatic subtleties and poisonous bait.
A lot of folk remedies are known on how to deal with cockroaches. The first and rather controversial method is freezing. It is clear that you can do this only in winter, because for this you need a temperature of 8 ° C and below. But if such conditions are relevant for you, you can do the following. Remove all occupants from the house, cover the pipes of heating and water supply (this is very important, as they can be damaged from the cold), open the windows, close the room for one day. After a day of live cockroaches you at home no longer find.
Trap
You can build a simple trap. To do this, you need a half liter jar, petroleum jelly, and a slice of fresh bread. Inside the banks we put hot bread, loved by cockroaches, and the throat of the jar from the inside is greased with petroleum jelly. Thus, if you get inside, the cockroach will not be able to get out and will be at your disposal.
Another way is to scare off insects with certain smells. As you know, cockroaches on the spirit can not tolerate elder, tansy and flowering rye. If you have access to these plants - wonderful. If not, you will be helped by ammonia or lemon juice. If you wash the floor with water with the addition of these substances, cockroaches will leave very quickly.
And yet, the most effective means to combat cockroaches at home, according to experience, is boric acid . The essence of this method is the production of a poisonous bait for pests. The cockroach, by virtue of its curiosity, always responds to it. After that, insects will soon disappear from your house, because, firstly, a poisoned cockroach can infect relatives, and secondly, a highly developed instinct of self-preservation will cause cockroaches to leave such a dangerous place.
