Neem oil is known for its natural insecticidal properties. It is known to disrupt the life cycle of cockroaches, acting as a repellent. Azadirachtin, a compound found in neem oil, disrupts the hormonal balance of cockroaches, hindering their ability to lay eggs, especially. To use it effectively, dilute neem oil with water in a spray bottle and apply it to cockroach-prone areas such as under sinks, behind appliances, and into the cracks where cockroaches hide.
