While summertime may come with household pests such as ants and flies, it does not forget to bring stubborn cockroaches. Fortunately, a woman plugged South Africans with an insecticide sure to get rid of the problem.

Ending the cockroach battle

A woman behind the page The Little Things (@the_littlethingshome) took to her TikTok account to show app users what she used to get rid of cockroaches after struggling to keep her kitchen neat and free from the pests.

The woman revealed that she used a 30g insecticide called Advion Cockroach Gel bait which she bought from a local store called Pest Shop for R320.

The bait eliminates cockroaches with an active ingredient indoxacarb, which allows the roach to consume it and return to the harbourage site to contaminate other cockroaches.

@the_littlethingshome, who noted the product took six to 24 hours to go into full effect, shared in her post:

"It's potent for three months, and we're only on week two. I'm still sweeping away a few more dead cockroaches every day!
"Plus, it has no smell and is safe around food, kids, and pets."
