Part 3: 4 DIY Methods to Deter Drain Cockroaches

• Baking Soda & Sugar Mix: Mixing equal parts baking soda and powdered sugar attracts roaches; when ingested, baking soda reacts with stomach acids to produce internal gas that destroys the insect.
• Baking Soda & Vinegar Flush: Pouring baking soda followed by hot vinegar down the drain cleans out organic sludge and grease that roaches feed on.
• Boric Acid Traps: Placing boric acid mixed with bait around pipe entry points disrupts a roach’s nervous system and digestive tract upon contact.
• Boiling Water Flush: Regularly flushing drains with boiling water dislodges buildup and kills any hidden pest larvae living in the upper P-trap.
