You must prevent water from stagnating in your house or apartment. It might attract cockroaches...
It is therefore necessary to hunt for leaks and look for the smallest puddle under the sink, next to the toilet or at the base of the bathtub.
Open the faucets at every sink and sink in the house. While the water is running, check for small leaks by running your hand or a dry cloth over the mixer base and the siphon under the sink.
If this is the case, it is necessary to intervene by changing the seals and repairing the leak. Do the same with the bathtub.
The cockroaches are playing hide and seek and you will have to flush out their hiding places.
Go around all the rooms in the house. Carefully inspect cupboards, wardrobes, cupboards, chests of drawers...
It's best to get on all fours to make sure you don't miss anything!
Cockroaches love to hide in bags you put other bags in, piles of old magazines, or cardboard boxes waiting to be recycled.
Open everything, empty the contents and throw away or recycle everything that needs to be.
Trap the whole house by scattering sticky cockroach traps.
You can put it along walls and baseboards, in corners, under sinks and washbasins.
Do not hesitate to put at least ten at once throughout the house or apartment.
It's not the most pleasant part of our anti-cockroach plan... But it is very useful.
You should regularly go around the traps you have set and note the number of cockroaches found dead in each room.
Why ? Because this strategy allows you to know where there are the most cockroaches, where they come from and to better target your next actions.
You will now be able to make your homemade cockroach repellent. Don't worry, it's very easy and effective.
You need boric acid and condensed milk.
Simply mix 30 g of boric acid with a little condensed milk (1/10th of the tube) in a container. Mix to make a homogeneous paste. Add a little boric acid if the dough is too liquid or condensed milk if it is crumbly.
Take some in your hands made into small balls, the size of peas.
Put your little balls in bottle caps or stick them directly on the floor or walls. But be careful, as they dry, they are difficult to remove.
Scatter them generously in the places where there are the most cockroaches. They correspond to those where you have found the highest number of trapped cockroaches.
24 hours later, boric acid takes effect and gets rid of cockroaches.
Your boric acid pellets are effective for 6 to 8 months.
Precautions:
- Use gloves to mix.
- These pellets must not be accessible to animals or children.
- Thanks to condensed milk, these very effective pellets will attract cockroaches:no need to put them in rooms where there are no cockroaches.
As soon as you have a meal or snack, clean the areas where you have prepared food and where you have eaten.
Put your food in sealed boxes. Never leave anything lying around:neither food nor dirty dishes.
Empty and take out trash cans and recycling daily.
Wipe off all traces of water, identify where the leak is coming from and repair it.
While hunting cockroaches, try eating out more and don't bring food home.

The most common cockroach is a winged insect, brown or light brown, with two stripes on its back.
It is called the German cockroach and it measures between 1 and 2.5 cm.
It likes to invade the kitchen and all places where food is stored, the bathroom and places where water stagnates as well as garbage cans.
To help you, here are some clues that should alert you:
- Feces: these are small piles of tiny droppings, about 3 mm, which clearly indicates the presence of these insects.
- Gastrointestinal disorders: microorganisms deposited by cockroaches on food and kitchen utensils can cause diarrhea, vomiting and even dysentery.
- Allergic reactions: the following symptoms should alert you:do you have itchy, itchy eyes, you sneeze often or your nose is congested? These inconveniences may be caused by the presence of cockroach droppings and their molts present in the air.
