Sometimes, the simplest tricks can make your home cleaner and more comfortable—especially when it comes to getting rid of pests like cockroaches that just won’t go away.

Kill Roaches Using Banana Peel and Detergent

After eating a banana, most people toss the peel straight into the trash. But few know that this “waste” can actually be a powerful solution to several household problems.

Banana peels can be used to polish silverware, shine leather shoes, fertilize plants—and yes, even repel or kill roaches.

How to Do It:

• Chop the banana peel into small pieces.

• Place them in a bowl.

• Add a pinch of salt and a small amount of laundry detergent.

• Mix everything together thoroughly with chopsticks or a spoon.

• Place the bowl in a corner of the room where cockroaches are commonly seen.

What happens next? After just one night, you'll be amazed at the results.

This method is effective because banana peels attract roaches looking for food, while the salt and detergent dehydrate them and interfere with their respiratory system. Once consumed, they suffocate and die.

Other Natural Roach-Killing Methods You Can Try:

Even though there are plenty of commercial options like sprays and baits, you can still use simple ingredients found at home to drive these pests away.

Here are a few more DIY solutions:

---

1. Baking Soda + Sugar

Mix equal parts baking soda and sugar, then place small amounts of the mixture in corners and under furniture. Roaches are attracted to the sugar, but once they consume the baking soda, it reacts with the acids in their stomachs and causes them to die.

Tip: Add a small dish of water nearby to encourage them to drink after eating.

2. Onion + Garlic + Black Pepper Powder

Roaches hate strong odors. To make a natural repellent:

• Juice some onions and garlic.

• Mix the juice with a spoonful of black pepper powder and a little water.

• Spray the mixture in areas where roaches hide or frequent.

No juicer? Simply mash the ingredients together, mix with pepper, and sprinkle in problem spots.

3. Citrus Peels (Orange, Lemon, Grapefruit)

Roaches naturally avoid citrus scents. Dry some citrus peels and place them in common hiding spots like under the sink, behind the stove, or near cabinets. They’ll stay far away from these areas.
