How to get rid of cockroaches in the kitchen: a tricky but reliable trick
Cockroaches are not only not very pretty creatures, but their appearance is not limited to aesthetic discomfort. These insects can be dangerous: they carry the pathogens of a number of dangerous infectious diseases, from salmonellosis and dysentery to deadly meningitis.
After travelling through the sewer pipes, they "drag" pathogens into the home, which can cause skin reactions, including allergies and dermatitis. So if you see uninvited guests in your home, don't hesitate. OBOZREVATEL tells you how to get rid of cockroaches in the kitchen.
Our grandmothers also used an effective and proven pest control product. By the way, it can also be used as a preventive measure, for example, if your neighbours have already complained about the appearance of cockroaches, but they have not yet reached your apartment.
The necessary ingredients:
- ammonia;
- water.
It's very simple: pour 2 litres of water and 2 spoons of ammonia into a container. This solution is recommended for wet cleaning at least twice a week. Particular attention should be paid to skirting boards and ventilation. Cockroaches cannot tolerate the smell of ammonia, so they will not enter your home.
The next method is turpentine. It is also applied to the skirting board and ventilation. Wet cleaning should be done with gloves and protective equipment.
You can also try bay leaves - cockroaches also do not like its smell very much. Read more about this life hack in the article.
It should be noted that you shouldn't limit yourself to folk methods. If your home suffers from periodic pest attacks, contact a professional pest control service.
