Laurel, repellent and scented

Laurel is a very effective natural remedy for keeping cockroaches away, thanks to its intense scent which is unpleasant to these insects .

Using it is simple: just take some bay leaves (fresh ones are better, but dried ones are also fine) and distribute them in the critical points of the house where the presence of cockroaches has been noticed.

Bay leaves do not kill cockroaches, but they deter them from approaching, pushing them to seek refuge elsewhere. It is therefore a safe, economical method and without side effects especially for any animals that live in the house.

You can also make small cloth bags filled with bay leaves and place them in drawers or pantries for long-term protection.
