Cockroaches are very common at home, especially in the bathroom. The shower drain is one of the places where they come out the most, but here’s how you can get rid of them.

Finding cockroaches in the house is a common problem  . It happens at any time of the year and you don’t need specific times. Certainly, however, there are more favorable climates and environments but in general it is easy to find them at home. There is no solution that will eliminate the problem forever, but you can pay attention to some details and choose the right remedies.

Let’s start by saying that cockroaches love high temperatures, so you are most likely to find them in summer, but they also love warm, humid places.  Then cockroaches don’t like light so they always appear at night, it is really difficult to find them walking around the house during the day  . If the cockroach infestation occurs, it is already advanced and it is time to call a specialized company.

The ideal places to find them are therefore the sewers and they get out very easily, especially from the sink, washbasin, toilet and shower  . Wherever they are, it is certainly not a pleasure, so we are going to see some remedies to try to keep them as far away as possible from our home.

First of all, it is important not to leave food around because cockroaches are very attracted to starch, bread, rice, pasta, potatoes. Then always check the bathroom because it is a humid place and you will easily find them there.  Obviously, these precautions are not enough and you can resort to other remedies to solve the cockroach problem  .

Cockroaches: here are the remedies to eliminate them

There are several remedies to eliminate cockroaches and we are going to see some of them below.  Among these is the ultrasonic repellent which essentially emits sounds that are not perceptible to humans but that actually bother the animal a lot  . In this case, therefore, the cockroach will be eliminated and it is safe because it is not as dangerous as the poison can be.

Other remedies are natural methods and among these we find  :

• Baking soda and sugar  : just make a mixture with these two ingredients in equal parts and then create balls with very little water. You can spread them in areas where you have seen them or in any case near sinks, drains, etc. Sugar attracts them, but baking soda works in your body to kill them.

• Laurel  : Place a few bay leaves in specific places. Cockroaches do not like the pungent smell of this aromatic plant and will immediately leave.
• Cucumber  – Just take an aluminum can and insert some cucumber peels. Aluminum and cucumber produce an odor that is not appreciated by the cockroaches that will leave. In this case, however, the odor that will exist will not be pleasant for humans either.

• Vaseline  : in this case you will have to create a trap. You will need half a plastic bottle or a container to put the Vaseline. Inside you will also have to put food that attracts cockroaches. Once they get there for the food, they’ll be stuck for the Vaseline.
• Boric Acid  – Simply mix it with flour and sugar. These two will attract the roaches while the boric acid will kill them. Be careful with this trap if there are pets and small children in the house.
