Introduction:
Pests like rats and roaches can invade your home, causing discomfort and spreading diseases. While conventional methods often take time or require harsh chemicals, there are effective, natural solutions that can work almost instantly. This guide will share simple, homemade remedies that can help you eliminate these pests the same day, without relying on toxic substances. These easy-to-make solutions can be applied quickly and can save you both time and money, all while creating a pest-free environment.
Ingredients:
Baking Soda (1 cup)
Borax (½ cup)
Sugar (¼ cup)
Peppermint Oil (15-20 drops)
Cinnamon powder (1 tablespoon)
Water (½ cup)
Spray bottle
Directions:
Roach and Rat Repellent Spray:
In a spray bottle, combine 1 cup of water and 15-20 drops of peppermint oil. Peppermint oil acts as a natural deterrent for pests. Shake well to mix.
Spray this solution directly in areas where rats and roaches are commonly seen, such as corners, cracks, and along baseboards.
Roach and Rat Bait:
In a small mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of Borax, 1 cup of baking soda, ¼ cup of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon powder. The sugar will attract the pests, while Borax and baking soda will eliminate them.
Scatter this mixture in places where rats and roaches are known to frequent, such as behind appliances or in hidden spaces. The sugar will draw them in, and they’ll ingest the mixture, which will cause death to the pests in a short period.
Serving and Storage Tips:
For the repellent spray, store any leftover mixture in a cool, dry place away from children and pets. Shake well before each use.
The bait mixture can be kept in an airtight container for later use, but it should be replenished every few days to ensure maximum effectiveness.
Use the bait in strategic locations, ensuring it’s out of reach of pets and small children. It works best when placed in dark, undisturbed areas.
