Cut small pieces of soap, put them in a bottle with water, and put the bottle in a cupboard where you want to keep out cockroaches. After several days, they will be all gone and your cupboard will even smell good. 神出鬼沒的蟑螂，最愛隱身於掌管我們民生大計的廚房裡。 面對「打不死的蟑螂」，辦法是將浴用香皂切成小塊，置於容器內注入 清水，擺放在蟑螂出沒的櫥櫃內， 不出數日，打開櫥櫃將令您訝異於蟑螂的無影無蹤，櫥櫃內還多了怡人 的香味。 想要效果持續，僅須定期補充香皂容器內的清水。 不用打殺蚊子的辦法     You do not need to kill mosquitoes: dissolve Vitamin C and B2 in water, wipe the water on your skin, and the scent will drive the mosquitoes away. Put up orange coloured curtains, or orange plastic wrap around a bulb. Mosquitoes are afraid of orange light, and they will be gone. Hang up a bunch of spring onions, and use gauze to wrap up the green sections of the onions, and there will be no more mosquitoes. Putting a pot of Lilies, Milans, Roses, or Evening Primroses in your room will work too.  一：把幾粒維生素C和維生素B2泡在水裡，將藥水塗抹在皮膚上，會產生一種讓蚊子不敢接近的氣味。 二：室內掛上橘色的窗簾，或燈罩上罩上橘色的玻璃紙，由於蚊子害怕橘紅色的光線，能產生很好的驅蚊 效果。 三：在燈下掛一把蔥，或用紗布包幾根蔥段，各種蚊蟲都不會飛來。 四：在房內擺放 一兩 盆茉莉花，米蘭，玫瑰，夜來香等花卉，也可以驅除蚊蟲。 當你不想蟑螂在你家裡開party時    To drive away cockroaches, you can put pieces of cucumber where you want to keep them away. 蟑螂不喜歡黃瓜的味道，若不想蟑螂在你家裡開party，不 妨將一兩 段掰斷的黃瓜放在它們經常出沒的地方。
