Bay Leaves: A Natural and Sustainable Cockroach Repellent

In a world increasingly concerned about sustainable living, simple solutions to common problems gain popularity. Recently, a short video demonstrating a natural cockroach repellent using bay leaves has gained traction online. Paola Hoja Verde, a Mexican herbalist, shows viewers how to crush dried bay leaves and place them in areas where cockroaches are often found. "Simply placing bay leaves can help keep your home free of pests sustainably," says Hoja Verde in the video. This method, while not scientifically proven to eliminate all cockroaches, provides a low-impact, eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides. The video's success highlights the growing interest in natural remedies and sustainable practices for home pest control.
