- Deep Clean First (The Foundation)
Wipe down surfaces, vacuum crumbs, and take out trash daily. Seal food in airtight containers. This removes their food source—studies show sanitation alone cuts populations dramatically. - Seal Entry Points
Use caulk or steel wool to block gaps around pipes, doors, and windows. Rats and roaches enter through tiny openings. - Set Up Natural Repellents
- Place cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil near entryways (refresh every few days).
- Scatter crushed bay leaves in cabinets—the strong aroma repels both pests.
- Spray a mix of water and lemon juice around baseboards.
- Deploy Attractant Baits
Prepare small dishes with:
- Baking soda + sugar (equal parts) for a simple start.
- Or boric acid + sugar/flour for enhanced effect (use cautiously).
Place in hidden spots and monitor.
