Cockroaches often hide in dark, damp spots like under sinks, in basements, or inside closets. If you’ve seen one, you’re likely “already feeling frustrated and eager for a solution.”
A simple, low-cost method uses just two ingredients: **3 tablespoons of boric acid** and **1 egg yolk**. Mix them into a thick, dough-like paste, then shape into small balls.
Let the balls dry on wax or parchment paper for about an hour, then place them where roaches are most active — “under sinks, in closets, behind kitchen appliances, or in basement corners.” The pests will eat the bait and die shortly after.
Keep the bait away from pets and children, as “boric acid is toxic if ingested.” Repeat after two weeks to kill any remaining roaches and their eggs.
This homemade roach killer is “affordable, easy to make, and highly effective,” offering lasting relief without costly exterminators.
