Cockroaches are not just a nuisance — they are potential carriers of bacteria, allergens, and disease. While chemical pesticides can kill them, they also pose risks to your health, pets, and the environment. Thankfully, natural remedies exist that are safe, cheap, and surprisingly effective — some using common ingredients you already have at home.
One such remedy involves banana peels and sugar — a simple yet powerful trap that can help eliminate cockroaches overnight.
🍌 Why Banana Peels?
Banana peels are:
- Highly aromatic, attracting cockroaches with their strong sweet scent.
- Rich in sugars and starches, which cockroaches find irresistible.
- A safe, food-grade bait — no toxic chemicals involved.
In this DIY trap, banana peels are used to lure cockroaches into a trap where they cannot escape.
