(VTC News) -

No chemicals needed, just leave some leftover instant noodle broth behind and you can get rid of the cockroach infestation in your home.

Cockroaches can live in many different environments, including ground-floor houses and high-rise apartments. Their presence is a source of fear for many people because they are unsanitary and can spread disease. Therefore, dealing with cockroach infestations is always a concern for every household.

If you're worried about the health effects of using cockroach killer, you can try using instant noodle broth to get rid of cockroaches. It's simple, inexpensive, and surprisingly effective.

How to kill cockroaches using instant noodle broth.

After eating instant noodles, don't throw away the leftover broth. Use it to kill cockroaches by mixing it with a little dish soap and stirring until dissolved. Note: Use an unused bowl or container to store the solution for later use.

Next, place the instant noodle water mixture in areas where cockroaches frequently pass by, and leave it overnight.

Cockroaches will be attracted by the smell of instant noodle soup and will come looking for food. When cockroaches eat this mixture, the dish soap will enter their bodies and make it impossible for them to survive.

If your house is infested with cockroaches, you can consistently use instant noodle broth to kill them, and you'll be satisfied with the results.

Tips for getting rid of cockroaches using natural ingredients.

Regular cleaning of your house (especially the kitchen), not leaving leftover food out, sealing and repairing cracks in walls or water pipes... are essential to prevent cockroaches from entering your home. In addition, you can apply safe cockroach extermination and repellent methods using simple ingredients found right in your kitchen.

Use orange and lemon peels.

Place citrus peels in areas where cockroaches frequently appear. To maximize their use, dry the peels and store them in an airtight container for multiple uses.

You can also mix lemon juice directly with a little water and spray it on areas where cockroaches frequent.

Use alum

The distinctive smell of alum is what keeps cockroaches away from your home.

Simply dissolve alum in a basin of warm water and use this mixture to mop your floors. Once the floor is dry, the alum solution will seep into the crevices, leaving behind a distinctive odor that repels cockroaches. After a short time, the cockroaches will disappear from your home.

Use garlic or garlic powder.

The pungent smell of garlic is always a nightmare for cockroaches, so you can use garlic to repel them.

Place or sprinkle some garlic powder in corners along the cockroaches' travel paths; they will find a way to escape by fleeing your house. A small note: garlic powder is easily dispersed by the wind, so it needs to be placed in inconspicuous corners.

Use leaves

Mint, perilla, and bay leaves all have refreshing, relaxing aromas. However, for cockroaches, these scents are their nemesis. When they smell these scents, they easily become disoriented and lose their ability to communicate.

Place a handful of leaves directly in areas where they frequent, or spray peppermint essential oil directly on those spots; the cockroaches will automatically retreat from your home.

Get rid of cockroaches with onions.

Similar to garlic, onions have a distinctive, pungent, and spicy smell that is unpleasant to cockroaches. Simply slice the onion thinly and place it in areas where food is frequently found; the cockroaches will be scared away.

Ground

The aroma of coffee easily attracts cockroaches, but the caffeine in coffee can kill them. Simply mix coffee grounds with water, then divide the mixture into small, lidded jars.

Cockroaches will be attracted by the scent and will crawl into the jar. Close the lid and wait until they are completely dead before disposing of them.

Use laundry detergent

Mix one part laundry detergent with one part sugar, place it in a tray or container, and put it anywhere cockroaches are likely to appear. Cockroaches are attracted to sugar, and when they eat the sugar mixture, they will swallow the detergent and die.
