Cockroaches Bye-Bye

Cockroaches Bye-Bye
There is a simple way to make them disappear.

You need one item.

That item is salt.

Small amounts cast around
On the floor, where the wall meets the floor.

Every three feet or so, throw a pinch of salt.

Carpeted or uncarpeted. Floorboards or tiles - It doesn't matter.


Walk around inside of each room, throwing a pinch of salt down as you walk, every step or so.

Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, laundry, garage - each room.

Then the hard-to reach places, just a pinch will do: on top of and inside kitchen cupboards, and behind the refrigerator, drawers, under sinks, all shelves and clothes wardrobes.

In the bathroom, pour a little down the sinks and drains.

That's it. Your done.

You won't see them again.

Hey, this is a great instructable and is very informative. Just one thing is missing... pictures! It really helps a lot when trying to follow directions so you should consider taking some photographs. Once you do that and leave me a message when you have so that we can publish your work. Thanks! Thanks for the cool instructable and we hope to publish this soon!

does salt watter work?

It probably works since insects don't like powders, because the crystals tend to wear through their exoskeletons and then they die of dehydration.
