20 Hydrogen Peroxide Hacks That Kill Roaches, Ants & Mice - The Appalachian Way

20 Hydrogen Peroxide Hacks That Kill Roaches, Ants & Mice – The Appalachian Way Zeb hasn’t paid a man to spray his mountain house since 1978. His secret is a brown bottle of hydrogen peroxide that costs a dollar and change, plus a few habits his grandmother kept in a hollow in eastern Kentucky. He’ll tell you the truth up front: peroxide won’t kill a grown mouse or a roach running across your floor. What it does is take away the food and erase the scent trails that bring pests into your house in the first place. Some of these 20 hacks kill. Most don’t, and those are the ones that work best.
