I Had A Cockroach Infestation In My Apartment: This Trick Got Rid Of Every One Of Them

By Lesia

Dealing with a cockroach infestation can be frustrating, but there are several effective tricks to eliminate them completely. Here’s a tried-and-true method that works:

The Baking Soda & Sugar Trick

Cockroaches are attracted to sugar, but baking soda is lethal to them. Here’s how to use this method:

  1. Mix equal parts of baking soda and sugar. The sugar lures the roaches, and the baking soda reacts with their digestive system, killing them.
  2. Place small amounts of the mixture in shallow dishes or bottle caps and distribute them in roach-prone areas (kitchen, under sinks, near trash cans, and dark corners).
  3. Leave bowls of water nearby. When the cockroaches drink water after consuming the baking soda, the reaction in their stomachs will kill them.

Additional Tips for a Roach-Free Home:

✅ Seal Entry Points – Check cracks, crevices, and gaps around doors and windows, sealing them with caulk.
✅ Keep It Clean – Avoid leaving food out, wipe down surfaces, and take out the trash regularly.
✅ Use Boric Acid or Diatomaceous Earth – Both are highly effective against roaches when applied in problem areas.
✅ Set Traps – Sticky traps and gel baits help reduce the population.

With consistency, this trick and good hygiene will help get rid of every cockroach in your apartment! Let me know if you need more tips. 😊
