Ingredients:
- 1 cup of Boric Acid Powder
- 1 cup of Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons of Granulated Sugar
- 2 tablespoons of All-purpose Flour
- 2-3 tablespoons of Water
- 1-2 teaspoons of Cooking Oil (optional)
Instructions:
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the boric acid powder, cornstarch, granulated sugar, and flour. Stir until all the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Form the Dough: Gradually add water to the dry mixture while stirring continuously. The mixture should begin to form a dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more water, a teaspoon at a time.
- Optional: If you’d like the bait to be more appealing to cockroaches, you can add 1-2 teaspoons of cooking oil to give it a slightly greasy texture.
- Shape the Bait: Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands to shape small balls or pellets from the dough. Each ball should be about the size of a pea.
- Place the Bait: Distribute the bait balls in areas where cockroaches are commonly seen, such as behind appliances, under the sink, and along baseboards. Be sure to place them out of reach of children and pets.
- Let It Work: Leave the bait in place for a few days. Cockroaches will be attracted to the bait, consume it, and carry the boric acid back to their nests, helping to eliminate the entire colony.
- Monitor and Replace: Check the bait regularly. If you notice that the bait has been consumed, replace it with fresh balls as needed until you no longer see signs of cockroaches.
Important Notes:
- Safety First: Boric acid is toxic to pets and humans if ingested in large amounts. Be sure to place the bait in areas that are inaccessible to pets and children.
- Persistent Effort: Cockroach infestations may take time to fully eradicate. Be patient and continue to use the bait regularly.
- Cleanliness: Keeping your home clean and free of food debris will enhance the effectiveness of this remedy.
With this simple remedy, you can say goodbye to cockroaches and roaches in your home for good!
