Finding out that your home is invaded by cockroaches is certainly not a pleasure. They seem to pop up from every corner and it is very difficult to find the entry points of these unwanted and sometimes even dangerous guests. To eliminate cockroaches from our homes, we often resort to special industrial products that, although effective in most cases, expose our health and that of our families and pets to risks. Cockroaches have a great breeding potential. Although females have a relatively short life (about 200 days), they can produce about 6 to 8 eggs of 30 to 50 insects each. Cockroaches usually lay their eggs in crevices or cracks in the walls of the house or between baseboards, especially in particularly warm and humid corners of the house. Below, we offer you 5 effective tips for finding and destroying cockroach eggs to solve the problem once and for all. Silica gel . Locate cracks in walls or baseboards and pour silica gel into them. It is found in the packets contained in shoe, clothing or medicine packages. The flint dries out the eggs and destroys them. Boric acid . Mix 400 grams of boric acid with 150 grams of cornmeal, 100 grams of flour and 100 grams of sugar. Pour into a jar and place near the cracks. This compound will attract the nymphs (small baby beetles) that will escape from the eggs and become trapped. Alcohol . Fill a syringe with isopropyl alcohol and fill the crevices and corners where there are cockroach or cockroach eggs. Do this several times a day. Close the crevices . Once you’ve cleaned out all the roach eggs, it’s time to plug and seal the cracks, to ensure you don’t keep any annoying guests.
