Cockroaches will disappear in 15 rupees – very effective home remedies
Why is boric acid effective?
Boric acid powder is considered very effective in eliminating cockroaches. It is harmful for their body. When they take pills, their numbers gradually start decreasing. The best thing is that this method does not affect the things present in the kitchen nor does it have any strong smell.
Necessary items for this remedy
-Boric Acid Powder -1 small packet
-Sugar-2 spoons
-Flour or maida-1 spoon
-cotton
-Water
How to make special pills to get rid of cockroaches
It hardly takes 3-4 minutes to make this remedy. Just follow the steps below:
1. Prepare the mixture
Take a small bowl and add 2 teaspoons of boric acid powder in it.
Now add 2 spoons of sugar in it. Sugar attracts cockroaches, so definitely mix it.
After this, add 1 spoon of flour or all purpose flour and mix everything well.
2. Add water and knead
Now add little water to this mixture and knead it like a light stiff dough. Keep in mind that the mixture should not be too thin.
3. Make small balls
Make pea-sized balls from the prepared mixture. These tablets should not be too big, otherwise it may take time to dry.
4. Wrap the pills in cotton
Now take small pieces of cotton and wrap each pill inside it. The advantage of wrapping in cotton is that these tablets remain dry for a long time and cockroaches chew them easily.
Where to keep them in the kitchen
Cockroaches are generally found in dark and humid places. So keep these cotton-wrapped pills in the places where they like to hide:
-under the kitchen sink
-The space behind the gas stove
-Under and behind the refrigerator
-In the corners of the utensil cupboard
-Inside the kitchen cabinet, near the back wall
-Around the drainage pipe
-The place near the dustbin
The biggest advantage of keeping these tablets is that cockroaches try to eat them by smelling them and gradually their number starts decreasing. Usually, the difference is visible in 3-5 days and the kitchen becomes clean to a great extent within a week.
Some important things to keep in mind
-If there are small children or pets in the house, keep the pills out of their reach.
-Make new pills every 12–15 days so that the effect continues.
-Clean the kitchen sink daily and do not leave dirty utensils at night.
-Keep the humidity in the kitchen low, because moisture attracts cockroaches.
