Ouch! Cockroach!

Pests will be pests and they are made to bother you! You need to keep your home and especially, your kitchen very clean to avoid the intrusion of such cockroaches. It also helps if you don’t drop food particles on the kitchen floor, and if ever you do, clean it up as soon as possible.

Placing orange peels in cockroach infested areas will make them run for life. Orange lets out a strong smell that these pests cannot stand for long. You can try hiring the services of a pest control company and rid your home of cockroaches and ants using organic options.

Then one fine day I used a tip from my mother. I wiped the kitchen work counter with a vinegar and water solution in which I took one teaspoon vinegar and three teaspoons water. I was amazed to find that the ants had lost their way…out of my house!
