Natural Ways to Keep Cockroaches Out of Your Home

Cockroaches seem to be everywhere, and while Hashem must have a reason for creating them, most of us prefer them far away from our homes. So, how do you keep these unwanted guests out? Surprisingly, there's a perfect natural solution!

Roaches are survivalists; they eat everything and can even withstand high levels of radiation, surviving up to a month without food.

The classic solution many of us turn to is spraying insecticides. However, this method poses risks, especially in homes with small children or pets, who might be harmed by the toxic chemicals and industrial poisons typically used.

So, what can you do instead? Spread bay leaves around the house, particularly in the corners. Sound strange? Well, it turns out that roaches really can’t stand the smell of these leaves. Although this method won’t kill them, it will certainly drive them away from your home.

You can use either dry or fresh bay leaves, but for the best results, crush them first. Crushing amplifies their smell, maximizing their repellent effect.
