Here’s what you’ll need:
Aluminum foil
Sugar
Toothpaste
Lemon
Toothpick
To create the trap, mix equal parts sugar and toothpaste and add a few drops of lemon juice. Smear this mixture on a small piece of aluminum foil and place it in areas where you’ve noticed cockroach activity. Use a toothpick to poke holes in the foil to allow the scent to escape.
While this homemade trap may help reduce cockroach numbers temporarily, it’s essential to address the root cause of the infestation and take steps to prevent future occurrences. This may include keeping your home clean and free of food crumbs, sealing entry points, and seeking professional pest control assistance if needed.
