Brilio.net - Cockroaches are often uninvited guests in the kitchen. The presence of this animal is not only annoying, but also raises concerns about cleanliness and health. The kitchen, as a place for storing and preparing food, should be the most hygienic area in the house. However, the presence of cockroaches can damage the comfort and safety in the kitchen.
Cockroaches carry a variety of harmful bacteria and pathogens that can contaminate food and surfaces in the kitchen. They are known to spread diseases such as salmonella and E. coli which can cause food poisoning and other health problems. In addition, cockroaches also leave behind a trail of feces and an unpleasant odor that makes the situation worse.
They tend to hide in small crevices, piles of garbage, and damp areas, making cleaning and prevention a challenge. Dealing with a cockroach problem in the kitchen requires an effective and sustainable strategy. Keeping the kitchen clean, storing food in tightly sealed containers, and ensuring no spills or crumbs are left behind are important first steps.
In addition, the use of cockroach traps can help reduce the cockroach population. Well, to eradicate and reduce the cockroach population, you don't need to bother using special ingredients. You can imitate the method shared by the Instagram account @melizah21. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only using used cooking oil to reduce the cockroach population in the kitchen.

As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @melizah21 on Saturday (11/9), the first thing to do is collect used cooking oil in an open container. Make sure the container is concave and tall, then pour in used cooking oil until it fills half of the container. So, don't let it be completely full.

Next, place the container in a place where many cockroaches come. Then let it sit for 2 days. Later, the smell of used cooking oil will attract cockroaches to come in. As a result, the cockroaches are trapped in the oil and cannot get out.
