Baking soda is an incredibly versatile household staple, often used in cooking, cleaning, and even personal care. However, one of its lesser-known but highly effective uses is pest control. This simple, inexpensive powder can help you get rid of common household and garden pests without resorting to harmful chemicals. Whether you’re dealing with cockroaches, ants, mice, or garden invaders like snails and slugs, baking soda can be an excellent solution. Below, we’ll explore the best ways to use baking soda to eliminate pests naturally.
Cockroaches are among the most persistent household pests. Baking soda can kill them, but they need to ingest it first. Since cockroaches are not naturally attracted to baking soda, you must mix it with a sweetener to lure them in.
1/2 cup of baking soda
1/2 cup of sugar
Instructions:
Mix the baking soda and sugar in a bowl.
Sprinkle the mixture in areas where cockroaches are likely to appear, such as under sinks, behind appliances, and near food sources.
When the cockroaches consume the mixture, the baking soda reacts with water inside their bodies, creating gas and expanding, ultimately killing them.
