Mix the Ingredients: Combine equal parts of Johnson’s baby powder and sugar. You won’t need a large quantity; a small cup of each ingredient should be enough to cover key areas in your home.
Identify Problem Areas: Look for areas where cockroaches are frequently seen or where you suspect they might be entering your home. Common places include under sinks, along baseboards, behind appliances, and near trash areas.
Apply the Mixture: Sprinkle a thin layer of the powder and sugar mixture across the identified areas. The key is to cover the paths where cockroaches might travel, while keeping it out of reach of pets and children.
Monitor and Reapply: Check the treated areas regularly. If you notice that the powder has been disturbed or spread out, it’s likely that cockroaches have walked through it. Clean up the old mixture every few days and apply a fresh layer to ensure its effectiveness.
Additional Tips:
While this mixture can help deter cockroaches, it’s also important to maintain good housekeeping practices to prevent an infestation. Keep your kitchen clean, dispose of garbage regularly, and seal any cracks or crevices that could serve as entry points for pests. By combining these practices with the baby powder and sugar repellent, you can ensure a more pest-free environment.
Safety Note:
While Johnson’s baby powder is generally safe, it’s important to use it carefully, especially around children and pets. Make sure to place it in areas that are not easily accessible to them, ensuring their safety at all times.
