Do you have a problem with roaches? Are you tired of turning on the light and seeing the creepy crawly bugs scrambling away?

Instead of calling the exterminator, consider making your own homemade non-toxic roach killer.

Killing roaches shouldn't take your breath away. By using a homemade natural bug killer, you won't have to smell the chemical smell of a pesticide spray. Plus you'll save money on bug exterminator fees and save the environment at the same time.

Here are the quick and easy steps to make an organic non-toxic roach exterminating formula.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 8 oz boric acid
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/8 cup sugar
  • 1/2 small onion (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup shortening or bacon grease
  1. Step 1

    Put all ingredients in a large bowl and stir with a spoon until everything is well mixed.

  2. Step 2

    Add just enough water to make the mixture moist enough to where you can form it into hard balls.

  3. Step 3

    Hide the balls in out of the way places. If you have pets or children, make sure the balls are hidden and out of their reach.

Tips & Warnings
  • Keep out of reach of pets and children.
