During the winter, other creatures look for shelter, food and a warm place in our house or apartment. Most often, these are rodents such as mice or rats, but often also insects in the form of fleas, moths, bedbugs and other insects. Not everyone enjoys such company, especially when it involves cockroaches. They cause fear and sometimes even disgust in many people. How to get rid of them quickly and effectively?
What does one cockroach in the house mean? When you spot it, act quickly
Cockroaches are dark brown in color and reach up to 3 cm in length. They feed mainly at night, so sometimes you may not notice them right away. They feed on all kinds of organic material, including: food scraps, paper and even skin. Importantly, they can be dangerous to our health because they carry many diseases and parasites, so if you notice them, you should act quickly and decisively. Otherwise, after a short time they will take over the entire apartment and it will be difficult to get rid of them. Especially since the sight of one usually means that there are more of them somewhere in the rooms. In such a case, it is best to call a specialist who will eliminate them really effectively. However, before your visit, you can try proven home methods.
How to get rid of cockroaches at home? Homemade trap from a popular drink
If cockroaches have infested your home, prepare a home trap that will help you get rid of the unpleasant guests. Importantly, you can do it really quickly and at a low cost. All you really need is a bowl, something rough like a crumpled piece of paper or fabric, an object to make a ramp out of, and a beer. It turns out that cockroaches are real lovers of this drink, so as soon as they smell it, they immediately move towards it.
Pour the drink into a bowl, place an object to act as a ramp, and place a crumpled piece of paper on it. With its help, insects can easily get inside, but they will not be able to get out because it is difficult for them to climb on slippery surfaces. Catch as many cockroaches as you can this way and then get rid of them. Instead of beer, you can also use coffee grounds, which will also act as a lure.
