Step-by-Step: Bye Bye Cockroaches

Step-by-Step: Bye Bye Cockroaches! 🪳

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp boric acid powder
  • 2 tbsp white sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp condensed milk
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Spoon
  • Plastic syringe (without a needle)

Instructions:

  1. Add 2 tablespoons of boric acid powder to a small mixing bowl.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of white sugar and stir until the dry ingredients are evenly combined.
  3. Add 1–2 tablespoons of condensed milk, a little at a time, while mixing until a thick, smooth paste forms.
  4. Spoon the finished paste into a plastic syringe (without a needle) for easy application.
  5. Apply small pea-sized dots of the bait into cracks, crevices, behind appliances, under the sink, inside cupboards, and along skirting boards where cockroaches usually hide.
  6. Avoid placing the bait on food preparation surfaces or in areas accessible to children and pets.
  7. Inspect the bait every 1–2 weeks and replace it if it dries out, becomes dirty, or has been consumed.
  8. Keep your kitchen clean by wiping up crumbs, storing food in sealed containers, and fixing water leaks to help reduce cockroach activity.

Tip:

For the best results, place the bait in hidden areas where cockroaches travel most often. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, and wash your hands thoroughly after handling the mixture.
