I had a cockroach infestation in my apartment & fumigating didn’t help – my DIY solution got rid of every single one
A PEST hater has revealed the way she got rid of cockroaches in her home, once and for all.
She shared the brilliant hack with her followers in a TikTok video.
TikToker Life of TM (@lifeoftm) said she fumigated her home when she discovered it was infested with roaches, but it didn’t work.
The only thing that got the critters out of her apartment was a poison she created in her kitchen.
She said she hadn’t seen a cockroach in her apartment for over a year since she started using the solution.
The recipe for the hack consists of three kitchen staples, plus the toxic ingredient.
The content creator uses equal parts of egg, potato, and sugar to create the base of the poison.
Then she said she added double the amount of boric acid to the mixture.
The TikToker suggested people should boil or air fry the egg.
She said the potato can be cooked in the microwave or boiled.
Once all the ingredients are mixed together, Life of TM recommends cutting up egg cartons into separate holders.
Then you can roll it into small balls and place the traps around the apartment.
She advised placing the poison in cupboards, on kitchen counters, and on the corners of the floor.
The TikToker said to make sure people keep the poison away from pets and children.
“Enjoy living roach-free,” she said at the end of her post.
One person in the comments section was afraid the poison would attract other pests, but the online blogger said it wouldn’t.
“My cousin in NYC did this for her place and it didn’t attract mice,” Life of TM answered.
