A Natural Pest Control Solution: Using Eggshells to Deter Cockroaches

Here are a few methods to use eggshells to deter cockroaches:

Method 1: Scattered Eggshells

Clean the Eggshells: Thoroughly wash and dry the eggshells.
Crush the Eggshells: Crush the eggshells into small pieces.
Scatter Around Infested Areas: Place the crushed eggshells in areas where you’ve seen cockroaches, such as under appliances, behind cabinets, and in corners.

Method 2: Eggshell and Borax Mixture

Prepare the Mixture: Combine crushed eggshells with boric acid powder. Boric acid is a natural insecticide that can kill cockroaches.
Place in Infested Areas: Sprinkle the mixture in areas where cockroaches are commonly found.

Additional Tips:

Cleanliness: Keep your kitchen and other areas clean and free of food crumbs to discourage cockroaches.
Seal Entry Points: Seal any cracks or crevices where cockroaches can enter your home.
Use Natural Repellents: Consider using other natural repellents like peppermint oil or bay leaves.

By combining these natural methods with good hygiene practices, you can effectively deter cockroaches and create a pest-free environment for your home.
