Dealing with cockroaches can be a nightmare, but a simple and budget-friendly solution exists. Lauren Kochanowski suggests creating a mixture of “three tablespoons of boric acid and the yolk from one egg” to form a “thick, dough-like consistency.” Shape the mixture into balls, let them dry, and place them in cockroach-prone areas, focusing on cool, dark, and damp spots. Kochanowski advises caution, especially for households with pets or small children, urging to keep the dough balls out of their reach.
To maximize effectiveness, a second application might be necessary to target any cockroach eggs. This method not only promises a roach-free environment but also does so economically, making it an appealing option for those grappling with cockroach infestations.
