Thank you. Bay leaves, vinegar- peppermint oil, Neem oil, borax soap, baking soda and sugar trap with water, duct tape trap peanut butter with sugar, pickle jar trap with grease and then grease the jar with petroleum jelly.
i suggest everyone to use bay leaves . The odor of the leaves drives away all the cockroaches. i have not seen a single cockroach in my house since i used this method. You just need to crush or squeez the leaves and leave it in the places where they live. The result aftermath will definitely satisfy you..... PEACE!!!!!
Boric acid powder mixed with some flour and sugar, get some plastic straws and pack the straws with the powder mix. Then cut 2inch sections and place behind places where they are.
Yeah me and my family have always never have roaches but when me and my mother got into this apartment we live in we got roaches.. but they didn’t come from us because in the hallways of these apartments you see roaches & it’s disgusting 🤢

Sugar and borax mixture sprinkled everywhere is best. They love the sweets taste of the sugar and the borax dried out their exoskeleton. They also take back particles on their legs and body structures and causes their entire families to constantly feed and parish. They get crunchy after the mixture runs its coarse. Quick cheap and efficient!
Food grade diatomaceous earth, mixed with baking soda & sugar. The dive into it. The diatomaceous earth destroys their skeleton, baking soda causes stomach to explode. Small amount of sugar just to draw them in .
I tried mixing baking powder with sugar in a cap with another cap with water next to it and threw the roaches in my kitchen a big nighttime banquet. The bugs came swarming out of everywhere for the feast. The even fought over the bait! The next day my kitchen was quiet. Most of the bugs were gone. For best results, be sure there are no other attractants around.
My nasty neighbor and her roaches had moved in and it was a nightmare. I have never had them so I couldn’t sleep. Literally made my skin crawl. I used Cold pressed neem oil and ain’t seen them since
@@cassandramn6786 once it melts it returns to oil so I got a large empty oil jar with a dropper and just created alone along the wall adjacent and the wall perpendicular to her house to create a sort of barrier and that was it. They were gone in like 24 hours and didn’t come back until like a month or so later I saw one so I learned to mop that area every 2 months and put fresh drops down. Works like magic.
Bois what actually helped me : Clean the entire house behind furniture and every single corner thoroughly dont leave any leftovers around I even cleaned the dog food cans before throwing them into the trash can also put some bay leaves and lemons at the places you think they hang around KEEP YOUR HOUSE AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE hope you get rid of them bruddas !
@@TheTriangle444 it's concerning if you're saying that isn't a solution cuz you must maintain your house clean...bro, just keep your house clean. Though, I do agree that you should seal off crevices and holes regardless.
Keeping your house clean to ward off roaches is a myth. They will come in due to extremely hot weather or over abundance of rain. Also, what was not mentioned is that they like cardboard containers like cereal boxes, etc. what I do is after grocery shopping I take everything I can out of the boxes and put the products in air tight plastic containers. That also helps to keep mice from nibbling on your food stuff. Just my suggestions. They work for me.
@@oyoo3323 they lay eggs it's big pill/capsule looking thing and its brown in color and the female roaches carry it around until the babies are ready to hatch. Once the babies are ready to or are close to ready hatching the female roach lays it in a safe cool dark dry place. And then the babies feed off the egg until they are ready to start cycle and process all over again.
Even the slightest grains of sugar on a countertop can attract roaches. Those aluminum door sweepers that are drilled onto the outside of the front door work great. They can't get through the bristles and go away. But unfortunately, many people live in apartment buildings where they clean, night and day but have surrounding neighbors who refuse to let exterminators in, so it's a big problem. And if it's a private house next door it's coming from.. forget it! you have to move.
I put bay leaves in my kitchen, sprayed vinegar with olive oil in the corners and i still see big ones at night. I left with no other choice but to call for help.
@@kutiepie-rn1wu tape traps are really effective but they only control the roachs , if u want to vanish them completely u need to keep ur house clean at all times !! They will get remove permanently!! It is very diff in the house with kids but we try !

Thank you for this video I talked with the folks at the hardware store & these suggestions I used. Essential oils are great repellent .

I have a fear of roaches. Not spiders or anything, but just roaches. And I officially can’t live comfortably in my home anymore. I can’t go into my kitchen for a snack, I can’t go into the porch or take the dogs outside, I can’t use the bathroom or take a shower, I can’t use a light switch, and now I can’t sit comfortably in my room. All because of places I’ve seen roaches in my home recently. We even got the place sprayed for pests, and they’re still showing up.
One of the greatest things that I love about living in Sweden is NO roaches in apartments. I've lived here for a little over 10 years and and NEVER seen a roach...unless it was from a medical plant in rolled up form. It's the one thing I can say I don't miss from back home.
@CJB OCD roaches in the states have been around for ages. I think it has to do with climate as in in Sweden it's a lot colder than in the states. I'm pretty sure Canada or even Alaska has a lot less roaches too.
I had a roach problem not too long ago. They only live for a year or so, but they multiply very fast and before you know it they will form a colony in your home. Before exterminating them I studied them for a period of time. They are nocturnal, extremely photosensitive, once you turn on the lights they'll scatter immediately. I also saw them eat fresh onion and garlic. They can climb well, but steel, say a steel sink is a trap for them as it's too smooth. They like dark places to make their nest where they hide during the day such as in wall cabinets, behind and under furniture, drawers and similar dark confined places especially where human presence is scarce.
@@annaarslan8730 I kept covers on all drains, I had some roaches coming up and I was on 18th floor. That stopped the problem for me. I moved and still keep covers cause on because I saw a bug in shower and I read that other bugs can crawl up drains 🤢
Don't use vaseline on the inside of the jar trap. Use olive oil (or other veg oil) spray. It is faster, and cleaner and more effective! And the oil itself is the bait. You need nothing else, and it remains slippery.
Personal note about borax: you can sprinkle that stuff all over (every room in your house on the floor) even with an infestation of roaches and fleas and it'll do the job. It takes a while but I was able to basically eliminate a bad infestation with just borax. Don't ask how long exactly, I think it was about a month before the fleas died off then a bit longer for the roaches.
How many times did you have to reapply? Also I’ve read that you must make sure the layer of borax is thin, if it’s caked on the cockroaches won’t walk on it.
This is NOT tested yet, but I have came up with something I think would work. Bottle of cooking oil. Empty about 2/3rds of it out and put it under your sink without the lid. My theory is they go to check it out but slide right down in and drown because it’s too slippery to climb back out. Trying it tomorrow.
If you seriously have a cockroach infestation please use Combat Gel I had 2 different friends with serious infestations they tried everything and once I told them about the combat gel it 100% eliminated them within a couple weeks I was very impressed I know its not natural but it works the best
Try boric acid + 2 tablespoons of sugar, mix the sugar in the same bottle that the boric acid comes in the shake + mix after that sprinkle it all over the inside + outside of house or apartment unit, be extra careful if there are pets! 🤔😬😉😁
Not all commercial products are poisonous. For example Roach powder is nothing more than boric acid. And they should have mentioned diatomaceous earth as well.
One time i had a dream where i was outside my room and i went in and there were cockroaches EVERYWHERE ON MY FLOOR (my floor was a carpet so i felt “eggs”). I somehow made it to my parents room which was through my room and it was squeaky clean no cockroaches. When i looked back at my room, there was a goant cockroach that ran after me and i woke up at 4:00 am 😭😭😭😭😓😓😓😓
Boil 4 eggs 1/2 cup sugar little honey 1/2 cup of hotshot boric acid mix eggs with boric acid real good then add sugar mix real good add little honey mix real good roll little balls of it up an put in all cabinets n closets under sinks ect. N in 3 days no Rochester. It works....
Fell down the rabbit hole tonight… realize I have a big prob at home. First thing tomorrow I will be going to Walmart to buy all these powders to make the ultimate roach mixture. I shall update on here as to how it goes.
If you need another solution purchase Orthene Fire ant killer. It was the only thing that got rid of our infestation. If you need info about applying just message back.
I'm just gonna say this but borax can irritate a lot of people skins and it can be painful for them so for those people watch out for certain soaps. You can also drown them (cockroaches) in dish soap.
in the alf episode "la cucaracha", which originally aired on may 4, 1987, a melmacian cockroach had stowed away on alf's spaceship and then got into the tanners' house. bug spray just made it get bigger. near the end of that episode, alf sprayed it with perfume when it came after him and cornered him in the bathroom. the perfume killed the cockroach
This worked for me. I taped up bay leaves all over my kitchen, in places hard to see, and for the last year, I have seen one cockroach, I think he was lost.
@@vidyaranianu dried ones that you get at the supermarket. I used a whole package. I taped them up in places that you couldn't see very well. I can't believe that they worked. We used to have a mountain of roaches and in one year that they have been up, I have seen only one about 4 months ago and I think he got lost. Let me know how it worked.
Vinegar & water, any citrus sprays, boric acid accross outter window seals, doorways, in laundry room where air duct enters, inside storm doors. Cotton ball soaked with any citrus in room corners. Periodically spray behind curtains of windows, insects get in through windows too! Boric acid around air vents (preferably the side wall type).
It's overrr for me , An army of Roche's have arrived in my house , literally an army , there's the Calvary unit , the Archery unit , the foot soldier unit , The flying unit and don't forget the Commanders and generals . It's over 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I'm packing my things and goodbye
Wow! You have given me so many ideas I’m feeling hopeful! Some or all of them just have to work❗️Thanks for this excellent video. I am in an old building and feeling so helpless when it seems like roaches and palmetto bugs are winning.
Did you fix your roach problem? I lived in apartments and delt with roaches for years until I tried Ortho for fire ants. It was amazing all my roaches were gone. You just put the power around the edges of your apt and areas where it's infected and they start dropping within that day. All my roaches were gone within a week and let me tell you we were infested bad. I wish I would of known about the product sooner...just trying to help others out.
@@hermosaduh can you go into more detail perhaps? I have a HUGE problem with them. Seeing them everyday is so nasty and just thinking of them crawling over my belongings in the middle of the night is so terrifying. I don't know what else to do.
Any toothpaste that has mint in it the cockroaches, roaches, 🐜 and mice can't stand the smell.Even mint plants in, your yard against the wall to your house will keep the insect's away
I leave cups of water and sweet liquids in my room, give them enough time, roaches clime into the tall cup that’s half filled with liquid to drink it but they can’t get back out before drowning. Perfect trap :)
Yes but now you just drew them into your room and told them that there was food in there the better thing to have done would’ve been to put that in the bathroom of the kitchen where they already are don’t draw them to new places
Though this one of many 'DIY roach' videos I have been watching, I appreciate the fact that the video was animated. Also, the video was very informative 👌.
None of these things work as well as Combat. Years ago I rented a place, but before I moved in, I realized it was infested with roaches. I almost didn't move in, but a friend of mine who was an exterminator told me to get Combat at the grocery store and put a couple of boxes all over the house. Within a week, there wasn't a trace of a Roach and I never got them again the whole time I lived there. The active ingredient in Combat is what exterminators use.
I will try the bay leaves also just to be on the safe side in the kitchen area! I always keep my kitchen super clean! I'm a clean freak! (OCD gets the BEST of me 100%)
I use a blend of white vinegar, dish soap and water in a spray bottle; kills them on contact. They come up from the floor boards I think they are under my duplex. I will want to get rid of them permanently but, we can't use any poisons in my home. I will try a few of these. Thank you.
baking soda, clove leafs, lemon juice n one roach bait raid trap will do it n not bay leafs, its clove leafs. vinegar is for ant trails, i no bc i used the first 3 to get rid of roaches in my friends home!!
Ants is occasionally a problem in our house. We live in Florida where it’s unbearable in the summertime and it rains a lot too so that’s part of the reason why pests exist. But I think these tricks would keep these annoyances out of there.
Roaches feed upon decaying organic matter, leaf litter and wood around it. This material traps a lot of atmospheric nitrogen in them, and when cockroaches feed upon them, they release the trapped nitrogen into the soil (through their feces). Plants and trees then take in that nitrogen and it helps them grow.
@@pk435 However, mosquitoes serve important functions in numerous ecosystems, serving as food for many species, helping filter detritus for plant life to thrive, pollinating flowers, and even affecting the herding paths of caribou in the tundra. Last, scientists are looking at the mosquito for potential medical treatments.
I used a product called 9 elements and it works so well. Not only is it a cleaning product and cleans really well but it also repels cockroaches. So AMAZING!!!!!🥰🥰🥰

I had a roach problem not too long ago. They only live for a year or so, but they multiply very fast and before you know it they will form a colony in your home. Before exterminating them I studied them for a period of time. They are nocturnal, extremely photosensitive, once you turn on the lights they'll scatter immediately. I also saw them eat fresh onion and garlic. They can climb well, but steel, say a steel sink is a trap for them as it's too smooth. They like dark places to make their nest where they hide during the day such as in wall cabinets, behind and under furniture, drawers and similar dark confined places especially where human presence is scarce.
Is there a way to get rid of them without calling exterminator
My exterminator said our are comeing from pipes what to do about it?
🤔 (considers putting LED lighting everywhere in the kitchen cabinets)
@@annaarslan8730 I kept covers on all drains, I had some roaches coming up and I was on 18th floor. That stopped the problem for me. I moved and still keep covers cause on because I saw a bug in shower and I read that other bugs can crawl up drains 🤢
Thank you for the information.
Don't use vaseline on the inside of the jar trap. Use olive oil (or other veg oil) spray. It is faster, and cleaner and more effective! And the oil itself is the bait. You need nothing else, and it remains slippery.
Thanks for not using real roaches while making this and thanks for the tips
Tip: Use Lemon lysol spary
All over the house or on the roaches? This may be a silly question but I genuinely do not know. 😅
Works for both @@eli_ap
Personal note about borax: you can sprinkle that stuff all over (every room in your house on the floor) even with an infestation of roaches and fleas and it'll do the job. It takes a while but I was able to basically eliminate a bad infestation with just borax. Don't ask how long exactly, I think it was about a month before the fleas died off then a bit longer for the roaches.
Diatomaceous earth works just like borax, and will also eliminate fleas and roaches - even in carpets.
@@suzannereiter3600 oh really? Do I put it in the carpet or what because I have a carpet and I see reaches.
@@suzannereiter3600 also which brand did u use?
Be careful not safe for dogs.
How many times did you have to reapply? Also I’ve read that you must make sure the layer of borax is thin, if it’s caked on the cockroaches won’t walk on it.

This is NOT tested yet, but I have came up with something I think would work. Bottle of cooking oil. Empty about 2/3rds of it out and put it under your sink without the lid. My theory is they go to check it out but slide right down in and drown because it’s too slippery to climb back out. Trying it tomorrow.
Im infested with cockroaches right now and this is helping thank you 😁
If you seriously have a cockroach infestation please use Combat Gel I had 2 different friends with serious infestations they tried everything and once I told them about the combat gel it 100% eliminated them within a couple weeks I was very impressed I know its not natural but it works the best
I'm immediately trying most of your suggestions,especially the coffee grinds. If they work you'll change my life!!!
Did they work I gotta know 🤔
Try boric acid + 2 tablespoons of sugar, mix the sugar in the same bottle that the boric acid comes in the shake + mix after that sprinkle it all over the inside + outside of house or apartment unit, be extra careful if there are pets! 🤔😬😉😁
Not all commercial products are poisonous. For example Roach powder is nothing more than boric acid. And they should have mentioned diatomaceous earth as well.
One time i had a dream where i was outside my room and i went in and there were cockroaches EVERYWHERE ON MY FLOOR (my floor was a carpet so i felt “eggs”). I somehow made it to my parents room which was through my room and it was squeaky clean no cockroaches. When i looked back at my room, there was a goant cockroach that ran after me and i woke up at 4:00 am 😭😭😭😭😓😓😓😓
"Roaches aren't great swimmers" - they must have never tried to wash out a roach in the sink or toilet.
They're water bugs
@@lauracollins7408 Exactly! That's why most of them come thru the drain but they can't swim in scalding hot water.
I know right
They're the same species as lobster, I heard.

How Brightside CEO gets rid of cockroaches in his/her house:
*buy a new house*
Yeah.. you should leave your stuff behind cuz they can hide in anything..
Doesn't even solve anything
(MIB) Farmer John: good leave that means more room for my family all 10000 million of them
This scary. I'm terrified by real and animated bugs. Not sure if I will even make it through the video
John Michael Magpantay 🤣
You should plug holes in your wall where pipes come in. Make it very difficult for cockroaches to go in or out of a room. Then hit them.
The best advice. Thank you.
Peppermint also works GREAT for spiders, including brown recluse, black and red jumping spiders and even other very poisonous spiders
I love peppermint oil
The spiders can stay at least if they are anywhere not close to my room!
and rats too
Spiders are far superior to Roaches so I wouldn't mind them as much
@@SpearitureI second this comment! I would rather have spiders crawling in my apartment over roaches.
Boil 4 eggs 1/2 cup sugar little honey 1/2 cup of hotshot boric acid mix eggs with boric acid real good then add sugar mix real good add little honey mix real good roll little balls of it up an put in all cabinets n closets under sinks ect. N in 3 days no Rochester. It works....
You can do it with just milk sugar and boric acid
mix everything in a jar and put in cabinet ?
Fell down the rabbit hole tonight… realize I have a big prob at home. First thing tomorrow I will be going to Walmart to buy all these powders to make the ultimate roach mixture. I shall update on here as to how it goes.
How’d it go?
If you need another solution purchase Orthene Fire ant killer. It was the only thing that got rid of our infestation. If you need info about applying just message back.
Thanks for this idea
Because they are almost in their sixth generation in my housr
I'm just gonna say this but borax can irritate a lot of people skins and it can be painful for them so for those people watch out for certain soaps. You can also drown them (cockroaches) in dish soap.
Thank you for this video my house has so many cockroches
I get rid of them
in the alf episode "la cucaracha", which originally aired on may 4, 1987, a melmacian cockroach had stowed away on alf's spaceship and then got into the tanners' house. bug spray just made it get bigger. near the end of that episode, alf sprayed it with perfume when it came after him and cornered him in the bathroom. the perfume killed the cockroach
This worked for me. I taped up bay leaves all over my kitchen, in places hard to see, and for the last year, I have seen one cockroach, I think he was lost.
Fresh bay leafs or dried one
@@vidyaranianu dried ones that you get at the supermarket. I used a whole package. I taped them up in places that you couldn't see very well. I can't believe that they worked. We used to have a mountain of roaches and in one year that they have been up, I have seen only one about 4 months ago and I think he got lost. Let me know how it worked.
@@mikee2 thank u
@@mikee2 He wondered where his pals were.
Vinegar & water, any citrus sprays, boric acid accross outter window seals, doorways, in laundry room where air duct enters, inside storm doors. Cotton ball soaked with any citrus in room corners. Periodically spray behind curtains of windows, insects get in through windows too! Boric acid around air vents (preferably the side wall type).
I'm a roach, and I approve of this message.
I doubt it, if you approve, you shouldn't be able to post a comment.
😆 LOL!!! Get out of my house!
So 😁 Funny
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
It's overrr for me , An army of Roche's have arrived in my house , literally an army , there's the Calvary unit , the Archery unit , the foot soldier unit , The flying unit and don't forget the Commanders and generals . It's over 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I saw 22 roaches outside
@@sarahhoover7644 what? Freaking redditor
Wow! You have given me so many ideas I’m feeling hopeful! Some or all of them just have to work❗️Thanks for this excellent video. I am in an old building and feeling so helpless when it seems like roaches and palmetto bugs are winning.
Did you fix your roach problem? I lived in apartments and delt with roaches for years until I tried Ortho for fire ants. It was amazing all my roaches were gone. You just put the power around the edges of your apt and areas where it's infected and they start dropping within that day. All my roaches were gone within a week and let me tell you we were infested bad. I wish I would of known about the product sooner...just trying to help others out.
@@hermosaduh can you go into more detail perhaps? I have a HUGE problem with them. Seeing them everyday is so nasty and just thinking of them crawling over my belongings in the middle of the night is so terrifying. I don't know what else to do.
Any toothpaste that has mint in it the cockroaches, roaches, 🐜 and mice can't stand the smell.Even mint plants in, your yard against the wall to your house will keep the insect's away
I still find some in my toothpaste drawer though?
BAY LEAVES !!!!!! I use that for my rituals yesssss
I literally just watch a video about a guy feeding 300 cockroaches in a aquarium lemon raw onion and spicy mustard and they loved it 😂
Who else is watching BrightSide right before going to bed?

Me 😁
Me
Lol
OMG YES IT'S 10:37 RN I GO TO BED AT 10:50
It's in the morning so I just woke up and I'm still in bed!
Thanks for the ways it worked on my house😊
Which method did you try?
I leave cups of water and sweet liquids in my room, give them enough time, roaches clime into the tall cup that’s half filled with liquid to drink it but they can’t get back out before drowning.
Perfect trap :)
Yes but now you just drew them into your room and told them that there was food in there the better thing to have done would’ve been to put that in the bathroom of the kitchen where they already are don’t draw them to new places
Mix all these natural ingredients together and you have the ultimate roach repellent
This video is showing you how to clean and then make a mess in your kitchen
Yes I agree get rid of roaches and mices and bed bugs and other insects
I have a really big fear of roaches and spiders...they make me shake😯
Thanks for the advice. I didn't get to use any of these tho, my slipper got the job done! 😆
I never knew about all these natural remedies to get rid of cockroaches, or any other bugs for that matter. Thank you appreciate it.❤
Got a Bright Side notification while watching a Bright Side video. *Wow.*

Great ideas to eliminate roaches.
Though this one of many 'DIY roach' videos I have been watching, I appreciate the fact that the video was animated. Also, the video was very informative 👌.
Orange peels are great too.
None of these things work as well as Combat. Years ago I rented a place, but before I moved in, I realized it was infested with roaches. I almost didn't move in, but a friend of mine who was an exterminator told me to get Combat at the grocery store and put a couple of boxes all over the house. Within a week, there wasn't a trace of a Roach and I never got them again the whole time I lived there. The active ingredient in Combat is what exterminators use.
That's true, I cleared out a place I was moving in to with Combat as well. And just like you, within one week we had them cleared out
Combat is VERY good, however I've seen it fail many times:if you are in an older building with a major infestation, it generally does little.
What is combat
I left out lemon slices 🍋 and they ate it loved ate onions 🧅 lived ate mustard lived ate garlic too
its been really humid this summer. So seeing lots of insects in late summer is normal.
So is it normal like rn in july its been raining like crazy and we have never had this problem before should I still be concerned?
I will try the bay leaves also just to be on the safe side in the kitchen area! I always keep my kitchen super clean! I'm a clean freak! (OCD gets the BEST of me 100%)
I want to come and live with you. Its 4:30 in the morning and im seeing this video, so u can imagine. No one is cooperating here 😒
did it work?
@@BibleCarConversations ģ0p
I’m using the chemicals (not spray the bait gel and disks) THEN I’ll use these methods to help keep them away. Best of both worlds
I use a blend of white vinegar, dish soap and water in a spray bottle; kills them on contact. They come up from the floor boards I think they are under my duplex. I will want to get rid of them permanently but, we can't use any poisons in my home. I will try a few of these. Thank you.
What's the ratio of vinegar dish soap and water?
the duct tape trap actually works for the most part
baking soda, clove leafs, lemon juice n one roach bait raid trap will do it n not bay leafs, its clove leafs. vinegar is for ant trails, i no bc i used the first 3 to get rid of roaches in my friends home!!
Ants is occasionally a problem in our house. We live in Florida where it’s unbearable in the summertime and it rains a lot too so that’s part of the reason why pests exist. But I think these tricks would keep these annoyances out of there.
yep, ik how it is..
Same
I was wondering how far to scroll before I here we live in Florida.
I actually need to know why roaches exist.
Because of the food chain and other reasons
Also the mosquitoes 🙄
Bugs shouldn't even exist 😒
Roaches feed upon decaying organic matter, leaf litter and wood around it. This material traps a lot of atmospheric nitrogen in them, and when cockroaches feed upon them, they release the trapped nitrogen into the soil (through their feces). Plants and trees then take in that nitrogen and it helps them grow.
@@pk435 However, mosquitoes serve important functions in numerous ecosystems, serving as food for many species, helping filter detritus for plant life to thrive, pollinating flowers, and even affecting the herding paths of caribou in the tundra. Last, scientists are looking at the mosquito for potential medical treatments.
Borax mixed with toothpaste works great!
I used a product called 9 elements and it works so well. Not only is it a cleaning product and cleans really well but it also repels cockroaches. So AMAZING!!!!!🥰🥰🥰
Wow, they didn't have Boric Acid on the list. BEST ROACH KILLER HANDS DOWN. Well worth the research. Put it where children and pets CANNOT get to
Was cleaning on my bunk bed and underneath my covers that I placed to keep things from falling off my bed was atleast 20+ adolescent roaches not sleeping on that bed till I find a way to get rid of them.
*Has anyone used any of these tips and gotten rid of roaches?*
thank you for giving me a solution to my no. 1 problem.... 👍👍👍👍
Baking soda and sugar, next to water.
