First off, you should get boric acid. Most of grocery stores and pharmacies have it. Aside from this, you will also need sugar, flour, lard, bacon grease, bottle cap and aluminum foil.

Your next step is to tear small squares of the tin foil. Now, make use of that bottle cap like a mold so as to create little tin cups.

Now, you should take around one tbsp of dough and role it into a small ball. Then put it in your tin cups.

Put the cups at the backside of your furniture, cupboards and similar hiding places frequented by roaches. As you may know that roaches are attracted to food sources; therefore, you should choose to place the balls in your bathroom as well as kitchen. Roaches are also attracted to places where adequate amount of water is available.

Replace the balls every 3-6 months if possible. Every now and then, you may come across a couple of dead roaches. Other than that, you will have no problem to deal with. All you have to do is to follow the instructions given in this article.
