A cheap and simple method to keep these pests away from your home

How to Get Rid of Cockroaches with a Simple, Cheap DIY Trick

I can’t stand bugs—but cockroaches are the worst. These creepy crawlies love hiding in dark, damp, and cool spots. Unfortunately, that often means basements, closets, and the space under your kitchen sink.

If you’ve spotted roaches in your home, chances are you’re already feeling disgusted and frustrated. But don’t worry—there’s an easy and affordable way to kick them out for good.

A Homemade Cockroach Ki**er That Works
All you need are two basic ingredients:

3 tablespoons of boric acid

1 egg yolk

Mix them together until the texture becomes thick and dough-like.

Shape the Mixture into Bait Balls
Next, use a spoon to roll the mixture into small balls. Place them on wax or parchment paper and let them dry for about an hour.

Once they’ve hardened, you’re ready for the next step.

Place Bait Where Roaches Lurk
Put the dried balls in areas where you’ve seen roach activity. Focus on:

Under sinks

Inside closets

Basement corners

Behind appliances

Roaches will be drawn to the bait, eat it, and die soon after.

Keep Pets and Children Safe
Important note: If you have pets or small kids, place the bait balls in areas they can’t reach. Boric acid is toxic if ingested.

Repeat If Needed
You may need to repeat the process once more, especially if female roaches have laid eggs. But after one or two rounds, your home should be roach-free!

This cheap and easy trick could be your ticket to a pest-free home—no expensive exterminator required.
