Question 1

What smell do roaches hate?

Accepted Answer

•

Roaches have a strong sense of smell, and they hate fragrances such as citrus, lavender, eucalyptus, and mint. You can use these scents in cleaning products, as room fresheners, or with plants throughout your home to deter roaches. Using these plants in your garden can also work to keep roaches from entering the home. You can even use these as ingredients to a natural roach repellent.

Additionally, birds might become immune or resistant to the impact of such treatments.
