One of the most popular home remedies for cockroaches is using bay leaves to kill them. The aroma that this plant gives off drives away cockroaches and, therefore, if you place it in your home you will keep these animals at bay.

You can choose to place bay leaves in areas where cockroaches tend to accumulate (holes in wood, garbage, etc.) so that the smell that is given off acts as a repellent.

You can also choose to buy lavender and put it in your home because, as with laurel, the smell that this plant gives off is not to the liking of these insects and will scare them away.

If you want to build a cockroach trap, you should know that using baking soda with sugar can be a very good option.

Sugar is an ingredient that will attract these insects, so if you mix it with baking soda, the toxic elements it contains will kill them in a few seconds. It is best to mix equal parts of sugar and baking soda so that the effectiveness is immediate.
