Cockroaches can be stubborn pests, but you don’t need chemical sprays to get rid of them. Try these 100% natural homemade repellents:

  1. Bay Leaves & Cloves
    Crush bay leaves and mix with cloves. Place them in cabinets and corners. The strong smell repels cockroaches.

  2. Baking Soda & Sugar Mix
    Mix equal parts of baking soda and sugar. The sugar attracts cockroaches, and the baking soda kills them once ingested.

  3. Neem Oil Spray
    Mix 1 tablespoon of neem oil with 2 cups of water and spray in cockroach-prone areas. Neem disrupts their hormonal system.

  4. Essential Oils (Peppermint or Eucalyptus)
    Mix 10 drops of essential oil with water and spray around baseboards and kitchen corners. The scent drives cockroaches away.

  5. Cucumber Slices
    Fresh cucumber slices placed near entry points can repel cockroaches, especially bitter ones.
