How to get rid of cockroaches forever: three useful life hacks

SSPDaily has prepared life hacks for getting rid of cockroaches. Learn practical and effective measures to eliminate them from your home.

Sealing of penetration points

To prevent cockroaches from entering your home, identify and seal all potential access points, such as cracks in walls, pipes, and windows. It's important to check for cracks or spaces under doors and install door latches if necessary to block potential entry routes. Eliminating these entry points greatly reduces the likelihood of a cockroach infestation in your home.

Regular cleaning

Regular vacuuming and mopping, with special attention to corners and crevices, will help eliminate hiding places for these pests. It is important to keep kitchen tables and sinks clean so as not to attract cockroaches with food debris and spills.

Properly storing food in airtight containers is an effective way to keep cockroaches away from the kitchen.

Natural repellents

The use of natural repellents such as peppermint oil, catnip, or bay leaf can be a strong deterrent to these pests. An effective remedy is to soak cotton balls in peppermint oil and place them along front doors, windows, and other potential places where cockroaches can enter. Another natural approach is to scatter catnip around the house and place bay leaves in dark, damp areas.
