Cockroaches are scary and annoying bugs to many people, especially in humid places like the South, where they have a particularly strong reproductive capacity and are always difficult to eliminate. So how can we eliminate these "little cockroaches" non-toxicly and pollution-free without affecting the health of children and the elderly at home? Let's take a look at some life skills to eliminate small cockroaches!

Can cockroaches fly?

Some species of cockroaches can fly, but most cannot. There are more than 7,000 species of cockroaches, many of which can no longer fly. Cockroaches can glide with the help of air flow. Common American cockroaches, black-chested cockroaches, and other slightly larger cockroaches can all fly, but the flying distance is not very far. Cockroaches are generally active at night.

What is a good way to eliminate cockroaches?

Method 1: Melaleuca Plant Fresh Spray

The reason I recommend this is because I have experienced it deeply. There were red ants in the old building in my hometown. This creature is not big, but has a high IQ. In the first few years before I moved into this second-hand house, I tried countless methods, including cockroach medicine and ant repellent distributed by the street, Liushen mosquito repellent liquid and floral water on the market. I tried almost everything on the market, but the little red ants still kept appearing!

Later, a friend recommended this to me, Melaleuca Plant Freshener Spray. The instructions said it was effective against cockroaches and woodlice at home. I bought a bottle to try it out. I sprayed every nook and cranny, especially the kitchen. It worked like a charm. After using a few bottles, the little red ants disappeared! It really works!

Method 2: Cooked potatoes + boric acid + sugar method

It’s actually very simple. Mix half boric acid and half cooked potatoes, a small amount of water and white sugar, and then pinch them into small particles and sprinkle them in dark corners of the house, kitchen, under cabinets, corners, etc.

Boric acid will dehydrate cockroaches. Cockroaches have the habit of eating corpses. After eating the corpses of people who died of poisoning, they will also be poisoned, and the whole nest will die.

Method 3: Sugar water + laundry detergent + beer method

Prepare a bowl or a cup, add a small amount of brown sugar or white sugar, add a spoonful of laundry detergent, open a bottle of beer and pour half a bowl of it, then stir evenly;

Put the prepared mixture in the kitchen where cockroaches often appear. Cockroaches love sweet things. Brown sugar and beer are both sweet and will attract cockroaches. Laundry detergent can corrode the cockroaches' stomachs. After cockroaches accidentally eat it, they will die due to inability to eat. If you handle it this way, the cockroaches will disappear after a period of time!
