Our experts have compiled the most potent methods of getting rid of roaches from your home, read on to find out more :<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/i> BORIC ACID BALLS TO TORMENT ROACHES<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This is an easy to make DIY cockroach bait that has a high success rate. Just mix powdered boric acid, white flour and some granulated white sugar along with a few drops of water<\/em> <\/strong>to make a dough. Make small balls of this dough and place them around your home in the corners and behind shelves and cupboards. The sugar in the dough will lure the cockroaches towards the bait and the boric acid will be the roach killer<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/i> A BIT OF COCOA TO DO THE DIRTY DEED<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is similar to the cockroach bait mentioned earlier. All you need to do is mix one part of boric acid and one part of cocoa powder to two parts of flour<\/em><\/strong>. Add a few drops of water to make it into a dough-like consistency. \u00a0Make small balls and place them in the most infested areas to do its magic. This boric acid cockroach killer recipe is a sure shot way to get rid of roaches permanently from your home.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/i> \u00a0EFFECTIVE COCKROACH BAIT GELS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A visit to the local supermarket can help you get your hands on some potent cockroach bait gels. This particular type of chemical gel<\/em><\/strong> is laced with bait to entice the roaches into coming over and taking a taste. Though you will not see the results immediately as it is a slow acting poison, our experts assures us that once the roaches have a taste of the bait, they will take it back to the entire family, thereby increasing the success rate of our cockroach bait<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/i> \u00a0SOAP WATER AND IT’S EFFECTIVENESS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This cockroach killer might have an innocent sounding name, but according to our experts a solution of soap and water sprayed directly at the roaches will kill them instantly. As cockroaches breathe through their skin, this soap solution coats their skin completely<\/em><\/strong> when sprayed directly and suffocates them to death.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/i> \u00a0 BORIC ACID POWDER AND SUGAR: AN INSTANT YET DEADLY MIX<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Commercial exterminators often use Boric acid to kill cockroaches in one shot. It acts by harming the digestive system of the roaches and drying out their exoskeleton<\/em><\/strong>. \u00a0You just need to mix equal parts of boric acid and sugar<\/em><\/strong> and place it under the sink, behind shelves and cupboards, near the cockroach nest and so on. This is one of the best cockroach baits as you will be able to see dead roaches within a few hours of applying this mixture.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Since Boric acid is a very toxic chemical<\/strong><\/em>, our experts caution you to very careful while using it and to make sure to keep it out of reach of kids and pets at home.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/i>\u00a0 AMMONIA-WATER SOLUTION TO THE RESCUE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ammonia gives off a smell that is quite repellent to cockroaches forcing them to avoid that area. You can add two cups of ammonia to one bucket of water and use it to wash the hard surfaces of your kitchen and bathroom<\/em><\/strong>. Even though this is an ingenious way of getting rid of roaches, experts suggest repeating the procedure every two weeks to ensure that the pesky cockroaches do not return.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/i>\u00a0PINESOL AND BLEACH FOR A QUICK FIX<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Mix two cups of Pinesol with two cups of bleach along with some boiling water<\/em><\/strong> to make a solution which gives off a cockroach repelling odor. Pour this solution along the roach infested areas and wait for 20-30 minutes before cleaning up the place<\/em><\/strong>. Experts suggest leaving the windows and doors open as this forms a poisonous chlorine gas that could harm you if the necessary precautions are not taken.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/i>\u00a0THE SLIMY PETROLEUM JELLY TRAP<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This is an easy DIY cockroach trap. All you need is a wide mouthed bottle with some petroleum jelly smeared along the top and an over ripened fruit placed inside the bottle to act as cockroach bait<\/em><\/strong>. The smell of the fruit lures the cockroach towards the bottle and entices it to climb into it. Once inside, the cockroach is trapped as the sides are too slippery to climb back out.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/a><\/i> HAIRSPRAY IN ALL IT’S GLORY<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

Next time you spot a cockroach scurrying about the floor but don\u2019t have any roach spray within reach, try using your hairspray. It covers the skin pores of the roaches forcing them to suffocate and killing them permanently.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/a><\/i> VACUUM DAILY TO SWEEP ROACHES AWAY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Most homeowners tend to forget that a clean and well-maintained home is one of the first precaution to take to get rid of roaches from your home. Try to vacuum your home daily and take the vacuum outdoors to empty it immediately to prevent the roach infestation<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0from coming back.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/i> INSECTICIDE SPRAY TO SAVE THE DAY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There are several insecticide sprays in the market targeted specifically at cockroaches. Most of them contain cyfluthrin as the active ingredient. \u00a0You can spray this insecticide along the walls of your home, behind cupboards, under sinks and so on. \u00a0These roach sprays are quite effective in helping you to get rid of roaches in your home, but remember if not sprayed in right places at right times, the roaches might find a new nesting place under your roof.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/i>\u00a0\u00a0INSECT GROWTH REGULATORS\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

These chemicals have the ability to sterilize the immature cockroaches in your home. Since the IGR does not affect the already adult cockroaches\u2019 reproductive system, it is prudent to use the Insect growth regulators along with other insecticide sprays for maximum effectiveness. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n
<\/a><\/i>\u00a0\u00a0ROACH BOMBS- FOR THE TRUE WARRIOR<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

If you like watching war movies, then this is the cockroach killer for you. As you spray the pesticide into the air, it falls and coats every surface of the room killing pests instantly. Unfortunately, the roach bombs will not affect the roaches hiding within the gaps and crooks of the walls of your home. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/a><\/i>\u00a0EXTERMINATORS – THE LAST RESORT<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you have reached the end of your rope with the roach infestation in your home, it might be time to make a call to the experts. They can be quite heavy on the pocket, but they are worth the money. They can help you to eradicate cockroaches from your home permanently by locating the nest and destroying it. <\/span><\/p>\n

All the methods mentioned above will help you get rid of roaches from your home at the moment. But if you plan to have a roach free home in the future, our experts recommend maintaining a clean home with no food crumbs or unsecured trash can lying around. Preventing a roach infestation has always been easier than dealing with the aftermath of a cockroach infestation.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
