✔ Boric Acid & Sugar Trap – Mix boric acid and sugar in equal parts and sprinkle it in kitchen corners, under appliances, and near cockroach nests. The sugar attracts them, and the boric acid kills them.
✔ Baking Soda & Onion Paste – Mix baking soda with chopped onions and place it where roaches hide. When they eat it, it disrupts their digestive system and kills them.
✔ Bay Leaves & Cucumber Slices – Roaches hate the smell of bay leaves and cucumbers. Place them in areas where you see roaches.
🔹 Chemical Solutions
✔ Cockroach Gel Baits – Use Advion Gel Bait or Combat Max Roach Killing Gel in cracks, behind appliances, and along baseboards. Roaches eat the bait and spread poison to their nests.
✔ Insecticide Sprays – Use Raid Ant & Roach Spray for instant killing.
✔ Roach Traps – Sticky traps like Black Flag Roach Motel can help monitor and trap roaches effectively.
Preventive Tips:
✅ Keep your kitchen clean and free of crumbs.
✅ Seal cracks, crevices, and entry points where roaches can enter.
✅ Take out the trash daily and keep food sealed.
3. How to Get Rid of Fruit Flies & Gnats 🍎🦟
Fruit flies and gnats hover around fruits, drains, and trash bins, making them super annoying.
🔹 Natural Remedies
✔ Apple Cider Vinegar Trap – Fill a small bowl with apple cider vinegar + dish soap. The scent attracts flies, and the soap traps and drowns them.
✔ Red Wine Trap – Pour red wine into a cup, cover it with plastic wrap, and poke tiny holes. Flies crawl in and can’t escape.
