Brilio.net - The presence of cockroaches in the kitchen is often a disturbing problem. In addition to being disturbing, the presence of these insects also raises concerns regarding cleanliness and health. As a storage and food preparation area, the kitchen should be a hygienic place. However, the presence of cockroaches can reduce comfort and increase the risk of contamination.
These insects carry a variety of harmful bacteria and pathogens that can contaminate food and kitchen surfaces. Cockroaches are known to spread diseases such as salmonella and E. coli, which can cause food poisoning and other health problems. In addition, the traces of dirt and unpleasant odors they leave behind further worsen the environmental conditions around the kitchen.
Their habit of hiding in small crevices, piles of garbage, and damp areas makes cleaning and prevention a challenge. The presence of cockroaches in the kitchen requires an effective handling strategy so that they do not continue to breed.
Maintaining a clean kitchen by regularly cleaning up leftovers, storing food in closed containers, and ensuring no crumbs or spills are left behind is an important first step. In addition, using natural ingredients or special traps can also be an additional solution to prevent their appearance.
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 brilio.net from Instagram @melizah21 on Wednesday (26/2), the first thing to do is to collect used cooking oil in an open container. Make sure the container is concave and high, then pour the 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.

Instagram user @melizah21 shows the results of the trap that has been set. It looks like there are a lot of cockroaches that have entered. If that's the case, you can throw the cockroaches out of the house along with the used cooking oil. Guaranteed, the kitchen will be even cleaner.
