Cockroaches are the worst nightmare for many housewives, because it is difficult to get rid of them in safe ways.
These insects have a high degree of adaptation and can survive in the most difficult conditions.
However, there are ways to combat cockroaches that will not cause harm to health.
What scents are cockroaches afraid of?
Sagebrush
The plant has a strong aroma, especially if it is a fresh plant. But the plant will be effective in dry form as well.
It is customary to spread wormwood on the floor.
Tansy
The plant has the same effect as wormwood. However, it is better not to use it if there are curious small children and pets in the house.
Bay leaf
The product can be used in a complex manner. First, prepare a concentrated decoction for washing the floor covering. Then, spread the spice in places where you most often encounter insects.
Lavender
Both the flower itself and its essential oil will do. In the second case, it is easier to use her trick: you just need to treat the cotton wool with a pleasant essential oil.
Anise
Almost all pests are afraid of this aroma, so anise is definitely worth using. Its aroma is pleasant to us, but insects do not share this feeling.
