How to prepare:
- Mix turmeric and sugar in a bowl
- Add boric acid (if using)
- Add just enough water to form a thick paste
The sugar attracts insects.
The turmeric destroys them.
The boric acid makes the effect long-lasting.
How to Use It in Your Home
Place small amounts of this mixture:
- Behind the refrigerator
- Under sinks
- Near trash bins
- Along walls and cracks
- In cabinets and pantry corners
For mites:
- Sprinkle dry turmeric powder lightly around bed legs, carpets, and baseboards
- Leave for a few hours, then vacuum
What Happens After You Apply It
Within hours:
- Ant trails disappear
- Cockroaches stop coming out
- Mites vanish
Within days:
- Eggs are destroyed
- Colonies collapse
- New insects stop entering
Turmeric stays active for weeks.
Extra Protection: Turmeric Spray
You can also make a turmeric spray:
Mix:
- 1 tablespoon turmeric
- 1 cup warm water
- A few drops of dish soap
Spray cracks, walls, and insect entry points.
Why This Trick Works So Well
Unlike chemical sprays that just kill on contact, turmeric:
- Attacks insect biology
- Blocks reproduction
- Destroys pheromone trails
- Prevents reinfestation
This is why pests don’t come back.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need dangerous chemicals to protect your home. With turmeric, you can eliminate cockroaches, ants, and mites naturally, safely, and affordably.
Sometimes the most powerful pest control is already sitting in your kitchen. 🌿
