- Mix the dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine the tablespoons of sugar, flour and turmeric. Make sure they’re well integrated.
- Add the water: Gradually, pour the tablespoons of water over the mixture while stirring with a spoon or spatula. You should get a homogeneous and easy-to-handle paste.
- Shape into balls: With your hands, take small portions of the paste and shape them into balls. These will be the vehicle to attract and eliminate pests.
Application
- Place the pellets in the problem areas:
- Identify places where cockroaches, ants, or mites tend to appear, such as corners, dark corners, near pipes, or cracks in walls.
- Place the pellets in these areas, making sure they are out of reach of pets and children.
- Let them act:
- Pests will be attracted to sugar, but the combination with turmeric will act as a potent repellent and exterminator.
- Revises and replaces:
- Every few days, check the pellets. If you notice that they have been consumed or discarded, prepare a new batch to continue the treatment.
