Many kitchens have cockroaches and ants, and using various pesticides inevitably poses a risk to your health. Here are two safe and effective methods:
1. Make full use of soapy water, as it has been proven to kill cockroaches. Dissolve a cup of soap shavings in 4 liters of hot water to create a very effective insecticidal soap solution. Spraying the soapy water on drainpipes, gutters, and corners of doors and walls can prevent cockroaches.
2. To deal with ants, you can sprinkle some chili powder in certain corners of the house, or plant a few pots of mint to repel them. Placing some dried bay leaves in rice buckets and flour cans can prevent insects from breeding.
In addition, keeping the kitchen clean is essential for preventing insect infestation. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get rid of pests completely using any method.
