How to Get Rid of Cockroaches Without Toxins – A Healthier Home Approach
If you’ve spotted cockroaches in your home, you might be tempted to reach for chemical sprays—but those come with hidden risks to your health. In my recent magazine article, I break down effective, non-toxic ways to eliminate cockroaches while keeping your home safe for your family.
Key takeaways include:
- Eliminate food sources – Store food in airtight containers and clean up crumbs immediately.
- Seal entry points – Use caulk to close gaps in walls, floors, and around plumbing.
- Natural deterrents – Try bay leaves, diatomaceous earth, or essential oils like peppermint and cedarwood.
- Homemade traps – A simple baking soda and sugar mix can effectively reduce cockroach populations.
- Improve ventilation – Cockroaches thrive in damp spaces, so reducing moisture is key.
By using these natural methods, you can keep cockroaches away without exposing your home to harmful chemicals.
