Sick of seeing cockroaches scurrying around your kitchen or bathroom? Forget harsh chemicals and toxic sprays – you can banish roaches naturally with this simple, two-ingredient remedy using baking soda. It’s cheap, easy, safe for your family and pets, and surprisingly effective at getting rid of these unwelcome pests for good.
Why This Works
✅ Baking Soda – When cockroaches eat it, it reacts with acids in their digestive system, creating gas that they can’t expel, which kills them naturally.
✅ Sugar – Attracts cockroaches with its sweet smell and taste, ensuring they take the bait.
How to Make the Roach-Killing Mixture
Ingredients:
- 1 part baking soda
- 1 part sugar (white or brown)
Instructions:
- Mix equal parts of baking soda and sugar in a small bowl or container.
- Sprinkle the mixture anywhere you’ve seen cockroach activity – under the sink, behind the fridge, along baseboards, and in corners.
- Repeat every few days or after cleaning until roaches are gone.
Tips for Best Results
✅ Place small lids or bottle caps filled with the mixture in dark, damp areas where roaches hide.
✅ Keep your kitchen clean and dry – roaches need food and water, so don’t leave dirty dishes or crumbs overnight.
✅ Seal cracks, crevices, and gaps in walls or cabinets to stop roaches from returning.
Important Note
This method is safe for most households, but keep the mixture out of reach of small children and pets who might try to eat it. Always wash your hands after handling the bait.
Say goodbye to cockroaches naturally with just baking soda and sugar – no toxic chemicals needed!
