They come from drains, patios, or cracks, and once inside, they reproduce quickly. That&#8217;s why many people look for inexpensive solutions without harsh chemicals.<br>Below you&#8217;ll find a simple homemade preparation that can be made with basic household ingredients and used as a dry bait to combat cockroaches (and it can also affect small rodents).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ingredients needed:<br>2 tablespoons of wheat flour<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1 heaped tablespoon of baking powder (chemical leavening agent)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1 small teaspoon of cement powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step-by-step preparation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[adinserter block=&#8221;6&#8243;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place the flour in a bowl.<br>Add two tablespoons of wheat flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add the baking powder.<br>Stir in a heaped tablespoon and mix well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add the cement powder.<br>Just a small teaspoonful is enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mix everything very well until you obtain a uniform powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to use the mixture:<br>Place small portions on old lids, small disposable plates, pieces of aluminum foil, or cardboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Distribute the mixture in corners, behind furniture, under the stove, near drains, or in the yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avoid placing it in humid areas to prevent damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check it every few days and replace it if it gets wet or dirty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea behind the method is that the insects consume the powder while searching for food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Important tips and recommendations:<br>Always keep the kitchen free of food scraps overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seal cracks in walls, baseboards, and pipes, as these are common entry points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t leave dirty dishes until the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Empty the trash frequently and use a lid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the infestation is large, combine this method with deep cleaning and commercial traps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if the preparation is not a chemical insecticide, keep it out of reach of children and pets as a precaution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With simple ingredients and proper bait placement, it&#8217;s possible to reduce cockroaches economically and practically. The key is consistency, keeping your home clean, and controlling entry points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[adinserter block=&#8221;7&#8243;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[adinserter block=&#8221;5&#8243;] Cockroaches can appear even in very clean homes.
