Instead of expensive sprays, make your own chemical-free roach killer using natural ingredients.
What You Need:
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 10 drops peppermint or tea tree oil
- 1 teaspoon liquid dish soap
How to Use It:
- Mix all ingredients in a spray bottle.
- Spray directly on cockroaches, their hiding spots, and entry points.
- The soap coats their bodies, suffocating them, while vinegar and essential oils repel future invaders.
Pro Tip: Spray along windows, cracks, and drains to prevent new roaches from entering.
2. Bay Leaves & Cinnamon – Natural Repellent 
Cockroaches hate the strong smell of bay leaves and cinnamon—these natural repellents keep them from returning.
How to Use It:
- Crush dry bay leaves and sprinkle them around your home.
- Add cinnamon near entry points and in corners.
- Works best when combined with other methods!
3. The Roach-Proof Seal – Block Their Entry 
If you don’t seal their hiding spots, roaches will keep coming back.
What to Do:
- Seal gaps in walls, pipes, and floorboards with caulk.
- Cover drains at night (roaches can crawl up from sewers!).
- Take out the trash daily and store food in airtight containers.
Tip: Roaches love damp areas—fix leaks and keep surfaces dry to make your home less inviting.
