🪳 To Deter Cockroaches:
Vinegar & Essential Oil Bowl
-
Fill a small bowl with white vinegar.
-
Add 10–15 drops of peppermint or eucalyptus oil.
-
Place the bowl under the sink, near garbage bins, or in dark corners.
Cockroaches can’t stand the smell and will avoid the area.
Bay Leaves
-
Place dried bay leaves inside cupboards, drawers, and kitchen corners.
Cockroaches dislike the scent and will stay away.
