Other uses for bay leaves
As well as cleaning the floor, you can use this repellent in other areas vulnerable to cockroach infestation, such as behind furniture or in places where you store food. So strategically placing bay leaves in these spots can also help prevent cockroaches from appearing.
Additional tips:
Keep it clean: A clean home is a less inviting home for cockroaches. Avoid eating in undesignated areas and don’t leave dirty dishes in the sink overnight, as leftover food is a major attractant for these insects. Keeping the house ventilated is also essential.
Prevent entry: Seal gaps and cracks around main entrances and pipes. These are favorite access points for cockroaches. Also, ventilate the bathroom well to prevent the build-up of odors that can attract these unwelcome guests.
By using these simple tips, you can keep your home free of cockroaches in an effective and environmentally friendly way. So, always remember that cleanliness is key and that small actions can make a big difference in preventing infestations.
