Use natural repellents and deterrents

Peppermint oil: Mix a few drops with water and spray it where cockroaches are likely to hide. Cockroaches dislike the smell and it might deter them.
Catnip: Catnip contains a natural repellent called nepetalactone, which can repel cockroaches. Place small bags of dried catnip in areas where cockroach activity is observed
Bay Leaves: place bay leaves in cupboards, drawers, and other areas to repel cockroaches. Bay leaves should be replaced yearly
Boric Acid: Boric Acid is a natural substance that can be used as cockroach control. Sprinkle it where cockroaches are active, use caution when using this product around children and pets as it can be dangerous.
