Say goodbye to cockroaches and flies at home, thanks to an ingenious mixture.

Say Goodbye to Cockroaches & Flies With This Black Homemade Mixture

🧪 Ingredients:

• Activated Charcoal Powder – 2 tablespoons
  → This gives the mixture its black color and helps absorb odors and toxins.
• Brown Sugar – 2 tablespoons
  → Works as a bait to attract cockroaches and flies.
• Baking Soda – 1 tablespoon
  → Reacts with the insects’ digestive system, causing them to die naturally.
• Water – 3–4 tablespoons
  → Used to combine the ingredients into a paste.
• Cornstarch or Flour – 1 tablespoon (optional)
  → Helps thicken the mixture if you want to make it into small bait balls.
• (Optional) A few drops of clove oil or eucalyptus oil
  → Natural insect repellents with strong scent. Only add if you want to repel flies in particular.

🥣 Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix activated charcoal powder and brown sugar thoroughly.
2. Add baking soda, stir until evenly combined.
3. Gradually add water, a spoon at a time, until it becomes a thick paste.
4. (Optional) Add cornstarch if you want to form small balls.
5. (Optional) Add a few drops of essential oil for scent and fly-repelling properties.
6. Shape into small bait balls or leave the paste in shallow bottle caps or lids.

How to Use:

• Place the bait in corners, behind furniture, under the sink, and near trash bins — anywhere cockroaches and flies tend to hide or gather.
• Replace the mixture every 7–10 days, or sooner if it dries out.

⚠️ Note:

• Keep out of reach of children and pets, even though ingredients are natural.
• This method is especially effective against cockroaches, and flies will avoid areas with strong-smelling oils.
