Crush those cockroaches, naturally!

There is nothing quite as repulsive as a roach scuttling across the floor. Unfortunately, one roach usually leads to many, so it is a problem that needs to be dealt with decisively, before the roaches run you out of your own home. Exterminators are one solution, but their chemicals can be hard on pets as well as the wallet.

Why not try a natural remedy? Purchase some borax and sugar, mixing it together in roughly equal parts. Take this paste and apply it to low-lying areas, such as base boards and under stoves (where lots of scrap food items tend to accumulate. Don’t believe me? Pull your stove away from the wall, and be prepared for the worse). The roaches will be attracted to the sugar, but will consumer the borax in the process…Which is a poison to their biological systems. You will soon have dead roaches to scoop up.

Easy to make, gets results…And gets rid of the roaches!
