Goodbye cockroaches at home: the natural trick that prevents them from entering and eliminating them forever

A natural barrier against cockroaches

The solution to this problem can be surprisingly simple: the essential oil of peppermint. This fragrant and refreshing essence can be our ace in the sleeve against cockroaches.

The cockroaches hate the smell of peppermint and will avoid it at all costs. That’s why creating a natural barrier around the drains of your home with this oil can be extremely effective in keeping them away. Here's how you can do it:

Prepare your spray: Mix about 10 drops of peppermint essential oil in a cup of water in a spray bottle. Shake well to mix the ingredients.
Spray around the drains: Once a day, spray this solution around the drains of the sink, shower and toilet. Make sure you cover all the openings through which cockroaches might enter.

Repeat regularly: To keep the barrier effective, repeat this process daily. Over time, cockroaches will associate drains to the unpleasant fragrance of peppermint and tend to avoid those places.
