How to drive cockroaches out of your home: a simple trick with bay leaves
When cockroaches or ants invade your home, it can be a real nightmare as driving them out is often challenging. These unwelcome 'guests' are reluctant to vacate the territory they have claimed.
It's not just about the discomfort of having these uninvited visitors; you certainly don't want them scurrying around your kitchen table in your absence. OBOZREVATEL has explored a solution for eliminating cockroaches and ants using bay leaves.
Cockroaches are carriers of pathogens for dangerous infectious diseases such as salmonellosis, dysentery, meningitis, and more. As they traverse through sewer pipes, they introduce pathogens into homes, which can lead to allergies, dermatitis, and other skin reactions.
Given that cockroaches themselves dislike pungent aromas, experts recommend using bay leaves as an effective method to combat these pests. Dry leaves should be scattered in the corners of rooms and in areas where cockroaches tend to appear. Placing bay leaves on shelves where cereals are stored is also a recommended measure.
A pungent odor will repel pests. But you shouldn't limit yourself to folk methods. If your home suffers from periodic cockroach "raids", you can't do without specialists. Professional pest control should be carried out.
