5 DIY Roach Killers: Easy Homemade Ways to Get Rid of Roaches

2. Boric Acid and Flour Paste

Boric acid is a well-known, highly effective insecticide that can kill roaches by targeting their nervous system. When combined with flour, it creates a sticky paste that roaches will eat and carry back to their nests.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons boric acid
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • Water (enough to make a thick paste)

Instructions:

  1. Combine the boric acid and flour in a bowl.
  2. Slowly add water to form a thick paste.
  3. Roll the paste into small balls and place them in areas where roaches are frequently seen.

Why it works: Boric acid disrupts the roaches’ nervous system, killing them after they ingest the bait. The flour acts as an attractant, ensuring they consume the mixture.
