Cockroaches are not always the fault of homeowners.

But instead of trying to figure out the reasons why unwanted neighbors have appeared in your home, we suggest you learn how to get rid of them without harming your pets.

First of all, it is worth noting that during the process of treating the premises from cockroaches, residents and pets are advised to leave for several days.

Unfortunately, this is not always possible, so we will tell you about a method that does not require going on a long trip.

For this you will need boric acid – at least 500 g (look in a gardening store).

Dilute the powder in water and pour it into a spray bottle to easily apply the resulting solution to walls, furniture, etc.

But that's not all. Boil an egg, remove the yolk and mix it with a teaspoon of boric acid and a drop of aromatic vegetable oil.

Now form small balls from this mass and place them where your pet cannot reach.

In addition, you will need to make paths of powder along the baseboards located in the kitchen and hallway.

And the final touch – for the boric acid to work properly, make sure the cockroaches do not have access to water. Remove dishes with water and get rid of leaks, if any.
