Simple and Cheap Way to Deal with Cockroaches in Your Home
Dealing with cockroaches is one of the most frustrating (and downright disgusting) parts of home maintenance. These pests are persistent, fast-breeding, and excellent at hiding—making them hard to get rid of once they’ve invaded. But before you spend a fortune on professional pest control or toxic sprays, you’ll be glad to know there’s a simple, cheap, and surprisingly effective DIY solution you can try today.
🪳 Why Cockroaches Are So Hard to Get Rid Of
Cockroaches can live for weeks without food, squeeze through the tiniest cracks, and multiply quickly. They’re nocturnal, so if you’re seeing them during the day, chances are there are many more hiding out of sight.
They’re attracted to food residue, moisture, and warmth—so kitchens and bathrooms are their favorite hangouts. And while chemical sprays may kill a few on contact, they rarely reach the root of the problem: the colony.
🧂 The Simple DIY Cockroach Killer: Sugar & Baking Soda Trap
This homemade solution uses items you probably already have in your kitchen, and it’s safe, non-toxic, and inexpensive.
🧪 Ingredients:
- 1 part baking soda
- 1 part white sugar
🥄 How to Use It:
- Mix equal parts baking soda and sugar in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the mixture in areas where you’ve seen cockroach activity—behind appliances, under sinks, in cabinets, along baseboards, or near trash cans.
- Place small shallow dishes or bottle caps filled with the mixture in hidden corners.
- Leave it out overnight and check in the morning. Repeat as needed.
🧠 Why It Works:
- Sugar attracts the cockroaches (they can’t resist sweet smells).
- Baking soda, once ingested, reacts with the acid in their digestive system, creating gas that cockroaches can’t release—ultimately killing them.
It’s a natural and silent assassin, working from the inside out—without dangerous chemicals in your living space.
