When cockroaches invade our houses, it may become a major problem very fast. However, there is a straightforward and efficient method that will rid your home of these pesky pests, allowing you to finally relax in peace and quiet.
Because of their remarkable versatility, cockroaches are able to access dwellings through a variety of entry points, the most common of which are drains. They find a home in our homes by making their way via ducts and pipes.
They cause major problems with cleanliness and health once inside, and they’re repulsive to boot.
But what are the best ways to stop them?
An all-natural cockroach repellent—peppermint essential oil—enters the picture. These bugs aggressively avoid peppermint because they hate its smell. Therefore, this fragrant oil may be used to create a barrier surrounding drainages, which can be quite successful in repelling them. In this way:
Make your mist:
In a spray bottle, combine around ten drops of peppermint essential oil with one cup of water. Give the bottle a good shake to blend everything well. Every day, spray this solution around the drains of your sink, shower, and toilet to seal off any possible access sites that roaches may use. Repetition of this method everyday will keep the barrier effective, so be consistent. Cockroaches will eventually avoid sewers because they smell like peppermint, which is a very unpleasant smell.
