Few things are as frustrating as discovering cockroaches crawling in your kitchen or bathroom. Traps, sprays, and chemical poisons may work temporarily, but they’re unsafe around kids and pets—and roaches always seem to come back.
The good news? There’s a simple, natural trick you can try tonight. With just a few common household ingredients, you can repel cockroaches overnight—without using pesticides.
🌿 The Secret Mix
Cockroaches can’t resist certain foods, but they can’t survive this natural combo.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- A shallow lid or small dish
🧴 How to Use It
- Mix the baking soda and sugar together.
- Place small portions of the mixture in shallow dishes.
- Set them in corners of the kitchen, under the sink, behind the fridge, and in dark areas where roaches hide.
- Leave overnight and refresh every few days.
👉 The sugar attracts roaches, while the baking soda disrupts their digestive system—ending the infestation naturally.
🌸 Other Helpful Additions
- Onion + Baking Soda Paste – Place near entry points to drive them away.

- Cucumber Peels – Fresh peels on counters or shelves act as a natural deterrent.
🌿 Why This Works
- Non-toxic and safe for homes with children and pets.
- Inexpensive—uses ingredients already in your pantry.
- Works silently and effectively overnight.
- Prevents roaches from multiplying further.
🌿 Final Thought
You don’t need dangerous sprays to get rid of cockroaches. By putting this simple baking soda and sugar mix in your house overnight, you can enjoy a roach-free kitchen—safely, naturally, and affordably.
