Ingredients:
Peppermint essential oil
Water
Steps:
1. Craft your spray: Mix about 10 drops of peppermint essential oil with a cup of water in a spray bottle. Shake well to ensure thorough mixing.
2. Spritz around drains: Daily, spray the solution around sink, shower, and toilet drains, covering all potential entry points for cockroaches.
3. Maintain consistency: Repeat this process daily to uphold the effectiveness of the barrier. Over time, cockroaches will associate drains with the unpleasant aroma of peppermint, thus avoiding these areas.
In addition to the spray, remember to:
* Keep your home tidy to reduce food sources for cockroaches.
* Store food in airtight containers to prevent access.
* Seal all cracks around windows, doors, and drains to prevent entry.
