Folk means from cockroaches used in everyday life from the very moment when people met with cockroaches. Due to the prescription of this epic, the inventiveness of the fighters themselves and a really large number of substances capable, if not destroying, then at least scaring away cockroaches, folk remedies for these pests exist so much that even if they want to compose an encyclopedia, it will be impossible to describe them.
In each apartment, and even more so - in a private house, where people are fighting against cockroaches with folk remedies, a new recipe may appear. And quite possibly, it will be effective. But there are also such tools that are widely known even in the XXI century more often than the most modern and effective developments are used.
Folk remedies for cockroaches are generally much less effective than, for example, insecticidal sprays or gels.Some of them do not work at all and are used only out of habit.
But let's look at the effective recipes that really allow for the complete destruction of cockroaches and save money while dealing with them.
Boric acid from cockroaches
Boric acid is a once very popular disinfectant used even for oral administration. But if boric acid is more or less safe for humans, then for cockroaches it represents a strong nerve poison.
Already in small doses, this substance causes strong intoxication in insects, in large doses - muscle paralysis and death. That is why boric acid can be considered a truly effective folk remedy for cockroaches.
For the acid to act, it is necessary that the pest eat it. To achieve this is not so easy - boric acid is tasteless and absolutely unattractive for cockroaches. Therefore, traditionally it is kneaded with various food products and poison bait is prepared for insects:
- One boiled egg yolk is mixed with 30-40 grams of boric acid and small balls are rolled out of the resulting doughy mass, which are then laid out in places of the most likely occurrence of pests;
- Another recipe: boric acid, sugar and flour are mixed in equal proportions, and then the whole mixture is mixed with water to obtain a mass with the consistency of dough. The finished product is used in the same way as in the previous version.
Such bait is desirable to hide in secluded places so that pets and children do not get to them.
Sometimes advising how fight cockroaches folk remedies, craftsmen recommend diluting boric acid in water and leaving near the sink, from which the Prussians most often drink the water, and dry the sink itself before bedtime. Since these insects "badly" need to drink, they are more likely to drink it from a poisoned drinker.
Buy boric acid powder in 10-gram packaging can be in any pharmacy.
Borax
Borax is the sodium salt of boric acid. For humans and domestic animals, it is also relatively harmless as its predecessor itself, and for cockroaches it is just as unbearably poisonous.
Recipes for the use of borax are somewhat different from those for boric acid:
- For 200 grams of borax 60 grams are taken. powdered sugar, 60 gr. starch and 30 grams. vanilla sugar. The latter is needed to give a strong flavor to the bait.The entire mixture is diluted with water to obtain a vanilla-scented paste;
- There is such an option: mashed potatoes of one medium-sized potato and one boiled egg. In this puree is added 1 tablespoon of borax.
Such mixtures are used in the same way as boric acid baits are laid out in the places most visited by insects. After this, it will be necessary only to collect the corpses of dead insects that have eaten the poisoned bait.
On a note
Some master cockroaches advise simply to sprinkle boric acid or brown around a garbage can and a sink with the expectation that insects running in poison will soil their feet, and then, clearing them with their jaws, they will swallow a few grains, which will be enough for them. There is a rational grain in such reflections, but there is no experimental evidence for the effectiveness of such an approach.
Feedback
“Throw away all your dichlorfos and buy boric acid. I always asked only my grandmother's folk remedies, she used to pick them brown in the military barracks. I will only see the cockroach at home, pour it around the toilet and the sink. The cat or the children will not be poisoned by it, and the cockroaches will all rest. ”

Freezing as the most effective way to fight the people
If all the other folk remedies for fighting cockroaches in an apartment give only the effect of partial destruction or scaring away, then a serious frost will kill the pests on the vine and everyone. For the death of these people from the tropics quite a bit - already minus 8 ° C and kill adult insects and their larvae.
However, freezing in the apartment is fraught with a rupture of radiators, pipes for water supply and heating. If they are protected by any thermal insulation, then the room can be completely cooled.
As practice shows, it is enough to lower the temperature in the apartment to minus 10 ° C for 3-4 hours, so that the spaces inside the bedside tables and cabinets will freeze through, and there will be no living cockroaches in the room.
Feedback
“I went to the forum, read a lot of advertising stories about miracle balloons, and only one sensible advice was found by Alexander M. He did everything, as he said, shook pipes with rags and foam rubber, opened the windows and the door wide open and went fishing for a whole day. Four hours on returning the apartment was flooded, but cockroaches disappeared altogether. Not one of them has been seen for half a year. So if someone crawls back to the winter from the neighbors, I know what to do. ”
Alexander Chogar, Inta
Destroying cockroaches with such a folk remedy as freezing an apartment is obtained only in limited cases:
- in the winter, and only in the Far North - in the autumn and in the spring
- in the respective regions - in the south of Russia the frost of necessary force does not always occur throughout the winter
- in agreement with the neighbors.
But in general, it is the freezing of the room is one of the most effective methods of fighting people against cockroaches.
Pyrethrum from cockroaches
Pyrethrum is a special insecticidal powder, famous for its naturalness: it is a dry ground chamomile inflorescences.
Due to the availability and safety of ordinary dust, Piretrum managed to turn into a real folk remedy against cockroaches, used in large cities and villages.
With him are preparing the same poisoned bait, as with boric acid, or Pyrethrum just crumbles in places of the most frequent occurrence of pests.
For pets and humans, Feverfew is absolutely safe.
Ammonia
Ammonia does not allow for the destruction of cockroaches in the apartment, but now expel them for sure.For this, it is not even necessary that the whole apartment smell like an intensive care unit: literally a teaspoon of ammonia in a bucket of water for cleaning floors, and cockroaches can no longer be kept from the outcome to the neighbors.
The sense of smell in cockroaches is much better developed than in humans, and even trace amounts of ammonia they smell and try to stay away from such a place. However, for reliable protection against cockroaches using this method, ammonia should be added to the water at each floor cleaning.
Feedback
“I rummaged through the whole forum, but they all just write that about every kind of chemistry. And she is poisonous, so that there they would not write on the banks. My neighbor but I suggested a method how to slay cockroaches with folk remedies. She is driving all cockroaches out of her apartment into mine. Just take the usual salmon, its spoon is dripped into a bucket with water, and the floor is washed with this water. We are now together so my floors, and cockroaches run to the neighbors above. Not quite beautiful, but effective. ”

Folk trap from cockroaches
Special self-made traps for cockroaches were caught long before fashionable Chinese houses appeared on sale. Such traps are made quite simply:
- A half-liter jar is taken, under the neck from the inside, the entire wall along the perimeter is smeared with a strip of oil in a centimeter or two, and honey or beer is dripped onto the bottom. Such a jar is installed where the cockroaches most likely sense the bait, and in the morning all the insects caught together with the remnants of sweetness can be thrown into the toilet.
- An adhesive tape is stuck on a strip of cardboard with a sticky side up. In the middle of such a strip is placed a drop of the same honey. Although the tape is not as sticky as the sticky part of industrial traps, most of the cockroaches will remain on it.
Before you get rid of cockroaches folk remedies such as different traps, it should be remembered that this method is not for squeamish. Still, it is necessary to do something with the insects with panic swarming in a jar or slowly and martyr-dying insect tape. But not all housewives are ready to look at cockroaches in cold blood, and even more so to pick up a jar with them ...
Emergency funds
And only if the cockroaches filled the apartment in such a way that they are not allowed to enter the kitchen, should one resort with nuclear, old-fashioned methods - kerosene, denatured alcohol and turpentine. Their smell for cockroaches is just as unbearable as the odor of ammonia, while they are widely available.
All you need to do to scare away the pests from the apartment is to apply any of these substances to the baseboards, the corners of the bedside tables and the edges of the linoleums with a rag, and then suffer a persistent smell of a car workshop for several days. But cockroaches will run away from the premises, like schoolchildren from a collective farm garden.
Twig geranium
And then, when there are no cockroaches left in the apartment, for prevention you can simply start a geranium: its dizzy smell also scares away these insects quite strongly. With a strong infection as a means of cleaning the apartment, it will not work, but in order to protect the apartment from the penetration of defectors - it will fit perfectly.
Feedback
“Until I read that geranium frightens cockroaches, I could never understand why we never saw them at work in the office. Although there are always open cookies, unfinished tea, and there are many hidden places. Indeed, we have nine vases with geraniums for three office premises - the chef likes them very much. Now bought one pot home. I hope it helps. ”

Struggling with cockroaches folk remedies, it should be remembered that all of them are inferior in efficiency to insecticidal industrial preparations. But with proper use and a certain perseverance with them, it is quite possible to withdraw the main part of insects from an apartment. And at the same time make it safe for other inhabitants and without serious financial costs. Use!

It helps really
What exactly?
I mixed 50g of boric acid with yolk, in a week I will write whether it helped or not.
All this is nonsense. They ate and did not say thanks ...
Ilya, judging by the lack of a comment, did the cockroaches win? ))
They rented an apartment to tenants, they left, leaving behind these nasty insects. 2 weeks - and I have not seen cockroaches for several days.
What I did: first, I didn’t cook anything, I lived on a dry ration, I kept all the products in the fridge. Accordingly, the dishes were not dirty, everything is dry in the kitchen.
Secondly, wherever it is possible and not possible to pour boric acid, I painted everything with Masha, and poured poison from a syringe (special ones are sold). Well, even balls of eggs with boric acid scattered densely-densely.
When a week later they became less, i.e. when, when turning on the light in the kitchen, they did not run in different directions, they first washed all the floors, wardrobes, walls, doors with ordinary laundry detergent ... Then all this with clean water. And all over the new bombarded with boric acid.
Now I bought ammonia and even boric acid. For prevention! )) The main thing is cleanliness! Good luck to all!
Geranium does not help - it is a fact. I weighing my apartment with it is made up, in each room at least two. A cockroach is still a lot, they still eat it up. But boric acid and borax (borax is also in powders) is a very good thing.
I have tried almost all insecticides: it is useless! Small children, drop some crumbs, and cockroaches expanse. I want to try boric acid with borax now, but I have to wash the floor with ammonia more.
This, too, I think, that's just interesting, you can then go to the kitchen after such a wet cleaning?
For an hour, leave the apartment after washing the floors.
Well, I found everything I was looking for. Tomorrow I go to the pharmacy and go ahead ... I will try everything that is written. Maybe that will help. Thank. I'll write when they disappear.
In our entire home, only at our entrance are these “reptiles”. Already three times poisoned with the help of specialists. And they appear again and again.The last straw was the repair of the neighbors. First, the big black climbed, and now the red ones climbed. One hope for folk remedies. If it helps, I will definitely write about the results ...
Hold on, stasiki, I'm going to the pharmacy
They zadolbali me, fucking cockroaches. Tomorrow I will fall asleep the whole apartment with a meter layer. Thanks for the advice.
Interestingly, I will definitely try borax and boric acid, otherwise the rest like dichlorvos, traps, gels, crap, nonsense things. But here it is interesting: people who wrote that they would unsubscribe about the work done, help or not?
They knew too much, had to remove them.
Boric acid and yolk - the most it. Checked and confirmed by the struggle in the apartment. While we were in the country (week) a large population of these creatures died out. Swept them in two scoops. After that, we performed this processing again. Found just a few dohlyak. For more than a year nothing has been seen. Cockroaches, returning to their nests, poison all livestock. I wish you success in the fight!
About 15 years ago, cockroaches appeared, nothing helped here. By chance, a woman at the market advised the Russian drug KOMBAT, bought several pieces from her, laid them out on the tables and under the sink, and everyone disappeared and went! And a month ago they appeared, I was horrified, I try everything that is for sale in Estonia - nothing helps ... Though go specifically to Russia for this tool.
The boric acid method with the yolk works exactly. No need to spend money on other funds from stores. I once tried boric acid, it helped right away, now I always take only boric acid!
Hee-hee ... Scientists estimate that one one-bedroom apartment with cockroaches can provide protein food to a large apartment building.
This is a kapets of some kind, which is not only poisoned - it is useless, there are already so many of them that they began to rummage around the bed, it is scary to sleep at night. Tomorrow to the pharmacy at a run! For powder. Thanks for the advice.
I bought a repeller, has been in the outlet for more than a month, but does not work on cockroaches. Probably a fake.
Fake these scarers, worth two weeks, no sense.
Repellers a priori can not affect cockroaches for one simple reason. Cockroaches do not respond to ultrasound.
Exactly, exactly, about the repeller, it's warm from the heat, so they also covered it all.
Boric acid really works, I advise everyone!
Thanks for the advice, but it is scary to live with them, they also started crawling around the bed!
I am in the hospital, looking after my mother. This is something: the cockroaches covered the entire ward, it’s scary to sleep. Here, went to see what you can do. Thanks for the advice, I am running to the pharmacy in the morning.
Uselessly fought with these creatures. If in the basement of the house live cockroaches, then in the apartment there is no sense to poison them. And aerosols, and insecticidal powders, dust, mashenka, gel in the syringe - nothing helps, either for a short period. If the neighbors repair something, then everything, the end comes to me, all these insects in my apartment. Already threw this occupation, only mechanically (that is, sneaker) get around, or in the clusters just with boiling water spar.I read about boric acid diluted in water - I will try, maybe it will help. And I also liked the method with ammonia, I will also test it.
I heard that it’s impossible to kill cockroaches in an apartment, as they climb on their smell. Is it true?
Cockroaches eat their dead relatives))
Five yolks, 1 boiled medium potato, 70 grams of boric acid. All this knead and mix thoroughly, roll the balls and arrange in the habitats of cockroaches. It really helped, after three days the cockroaches disappeared, and most importantly, there are no dead bodies.
A long time ago I read in the journal Science and life in useful tips: get the root of a yellow water lily (pods), cut it into circles, like sausage. Strung on a string, hang not in the sun, dry. Break into smaller pieces and spread out everywhere. Your neighbors will leave and they will be taken away! Carefully with the root - in gloves ... Toxic.
I used boric acid, poured near the baseboards and wherever it was possible. And my floor with liquid ammonia: 3 liters of 300 ml of ammonia.During the week, no cockroach in a private house. RECOMMEND, try.
Advertise Pest Repeller (Set of 2), works inefficiently, cockroaches are not gone. The device was installed more than 3 months ago in a room of less than 200 square meters. But the cockroaches are not gone.
Also the repeller stands in a private house: not only the mice did not leave, but the cockroaches came too!
Dear friends! I discovered and share with you the method of fighting cockroaches. What to do? Elementary: discourage them. How? Take any bottle with a spray, pour vinegar into it and spray. Everything.
I have accumulated dirty dishes in the sink, did not have time to wash. Strongly ill stomach, called an ambulance. Before leaving the hospital sprayed in the kitchen. I returned from the hospital after 5 days (I live alone). NO ONE TRACQUAN! No one!
If the font would be larger, I would write LARGE 🙂 You will not regret. Cheap and angry.
Guys, scarers are ineffective, cockroaches do not react to ultrasound in principle ... Boric acid - YES! (I mean balls). But it is necessary to repeat the procedure in a week, in two, because there is a new generation of freaks ((
It was possible to radically reduce the population with the help of dichlorvos, gas mask and vacuum cleaner.
1) Shut windows and doors, masking tape closed all the hoods.
2) “Gusto” sprayed dichlorvos into the cracks and back streets. As a “exterminator,” it turned out to be ineffective, but these creatures ran on the walls and ceiling from its smell from all the cracks.
4) Arranged a “hunt” with a vacuum cleaner on the crawled insects, already sweating in a gas mask from the excitement 🙂
5) With a sense of sadistic satisfaction, I cleaned the vacuum cleaner into the toilet.
Then I think of doing bait on boric acid (I ordered 3 kg with anger - got it!).
I hate all these creatures. So they died!
Yes, buy a normal poison, you need to be careful, of course, not to put it in the refrigerator. With my own eyes I saw last week: a common kitchen for 50 people and 50 cabinets on the wall, and each one has something delicious. And suddenly the invasion of the Prussian. They fell asleep normal himozy in the farthest corners, two brave men in gas masks closed there with something like dichlorvos, plugging all the holes) The result did not take long, I have not seen this before ... People swear like in the movies - a hundred, no! Two! One by one they crawled out and crawled out of all the cracks into the corridor and immediately died.After the genocide, everything was washed 3-4 times, and for quite a long time not a single red stasik was noticed. But ammonia ammoniac, boric, of course, a classic, but they did not just come out after 10 years (or 15). I answer, I didn’t have them in the city at all, but now they are back again, because they have developed immunity to mobile phones and weak poisons. This is evolution, nature, what are you. Only poison.
People, the article is not the most important thing! Believe me, I studied cockroaches as a species when there was no Internet, then when to go into the bath, it was necessary to turn on the light and wait until they scattered. So, shame and disgrace to those who do not write about the most important thing - this is my recipe: 3 eggs, three potatoes, cook for three hours! During this time, the eggs release poison, which when mixed with 10 packets of boric acid gives the desired effect. Who cares how, when and under what conditions cockroaches migrate - write.
Water them with cherry thick tincture - and every morning you will have a full dish of these creatures.
I want to thank the man who in the video suggested a simple way to fight cockroaches. I then searched for it on the Internet, but for some reason I did not find it.A wide and deep glass or earthenware bowl is taken. A sliced onion unfolds into it, I cut the rings, stepping back from the walls. The walls of the bowl on top and to the bottom with a brush or swab are carefully coated with sunflower oil. Cockroaches are attracted by the smell of onions, they climb inside the bowl, but they can't get back: the legs slide along the walls. It remains to periodically inspect the bowl, shake cockroaches in the toilet, then immediately drain the water. After that, add fresh onions, refresh plaster and wait for the next group of cockroaches. Success is guaranteed. The main thing is patience! And advise your neighbors around you so that the cockroaches living in them do not move to you. Together we will defeat these vile creatures!
