Instructions:
Clean the Eggshells
Wash the eggshells thoroughly to remove any egg residue, which could attract other pests. Let them dry completely.
Bake the Eggshells
Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and bake the eggshells for about 10 minutes. This helps to dry them out fully, making them easier to crush.
Grind the Eggshells
Once cooled, grind the eggshells into a fine powder using a blender or mortar and pestle.
Sprinkle the Powder
Sprinkle the powdered eggshells around areas where cockroaches tend to hide or enter, such as under sinks, near garbage cans, and along baseboards.
Extra Tips
Reapply as Needed: Check the powdered areas every few days and reapply if needed.
Combine with Essential Oils: For extra repelling power, mix the eggshell powder with a few drops of essential oils like peppermint or tea tree oil, which cockroaches also dislike.
Why It Works
The powdered eggshells act as a natural barrier. Cockroaches dislike the texture, so they’ll avoid crawling over it. Plus, eggshells are eco-friendly and completely safe for pets and children.
Give this natural eggshell method a try, and enjoy a home free from cockroaches—without harmful chemicals!
