Keep Roaches Out of Coffee Maker
Keeping your coffee maker free of roaches is important for making a delicious cup of coffee. This can be done by taking the following steps:
Clean the Coffee Maker
- Unplug the coffee maker and clean the surfaces with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
- Remove any grounds or old coffee stains in the coffee maker by running a half-and-half solution of water and vinegar through the machine.
- Wipe the surfaces of the coffee maker down to make sure all of the residue is gone.
Check for Cracks and Gaps
- Inspect the coffee maker for any cracks or small gaps in the machine.
- If you find any, use silicone caulk to fill them.
Seal the Roaches Out
- Place double-sided tape around the base of the coffee maker to discourage roaches from entering.
- Also put a small amount of citrus-based bug repellent near the entrance of the machine as an extra caution.
Use Coffee Grounds in Your Garden
- Old coffee grounds can attract roaches, so once you’re done using them to make coffee, dispose of them immediately.
- If you’re looking for an alternative, you can use them in your garden. Coffee grounds are an excellent fertilizer and can be used to promote healthy soil and plant growth.
Following these simple steps will help keep your coffee maker free of roaches and ensure that every cup of coffee you make is delicious.
