After revealing the solution to all your cockroach problems, the TikTok user explains the impact of the ingredient used to kill the insect.
Two basic ingredients will do the job
He suggests using 1:1 sugar and baking soda as the ultimate cockroach repellent. For instance, you mix one cup of sugar with one cup of baking soda and sprinkle it in and around the house where it’s most infested.
The hack guy explains that the sugar attracts the roaches, while the baking soda kills them. He further adds that the mixture is “kid and pet-friendly”. However, it’s wise to keep your children and pets away from the home remedy to avoid accidents that can cause health issues.
