Using Vinegar To Get Rid Of Cockroaches Has One Major Drawback
By DANIELLE RAMOS-SULLIVAN
Vinegar, while a versatile cleaning tool, is one common household product that may not be the best choice for ridding your home of roaches,
as it can’t kill them.
As one of the most indestructible pests, roaches may scatter if
you spray them with white vinegar but they won't be harmed. However, it can repel roaches in the home.
Roaches are attracted to
the scents of food and by spraying vinegar around the home, you can mask food smells and the scent of other roaches on the premises.
Further, roaches communicate using their sense of smell, so vinegar can block that ability. Just mix vinegar and water in a spray bottle and use
it to clean the house.
