That’s what you need:
- Baking soda
- Borax
- Sugar
- Water
Here’s what you need to do:
Mix equal parts baking soda and borax with a tablespoon of sugar in a small bowl. Add a little water to make a paste. Apply this paste along the edges of your patio tiles and anywhere you’ve seen cockroach activity. Let it sit for about an hour, then wipe away the paste with a damp cloth.

But why does this mixture work so well? Baking soda and borax are natural insecticides that disrupt the cockroaches’ digestive systems, ultimately leading to their demise. The sugar acts as bait, luring the cockroaches to the mixture.
Note that while this remedy is effective, it’s important to keep it away from pets and children. Always follow safety precautions when using any pest control method.
