At first, it’s indeed hard to accept the fact that no matter how we worship cleanliness, roaches will always be there, wherever we go, whatever we do. But then, don’t fret, for there are also ways and means on how to permanently get rid of these pesky pests.

Cockroaches always leave behind its tracks. No matter how hideous they can get, culprits have still its tracks. If you have seen black and brown pellets and eggs, then, that is a huge evidence of an infestation. Check on the possible corners and areas of their nesting grounds. Their favorite harborage sites are the kitchen nooks, cupboards, the wall cracks, and tiny halls in your furniture, and wet areas such as drains and pipes. You can also identify these pests through their pungent pesticide-like odor.

Put your cooking skills to test. We mean preparing the “cockroach food”, which must be palatable enough to lure roaches and kill them instantly. Prepare the ingredients for this killing dish such as: powdered boric acid, granulated sugar, white flour, and cocoa. Mix the ingredients well and put into paper plates and foils so as to prevent spillage. Remember that boric acid is a toxic chemical, so keep in mind to always prepare this safely. Once done, you can spread this out to the suspected areas where those cockroaches are nesting. How to know if this is effective? You will immediately see lots of dead roaches, and would likely kill at least three cycles. Purchase professional grade, high quality pesticides. These would be your best bet to killing all of them. Just make sure to use the product with caution, and buy ones that smell good.
