Are you tired of ants invading your kitchen, cockroaches popping up in the dark, or rodents entering your home? Want to protect your plants from slugs without using chemicals? Good news: baking soda is a natural and inexpensive solution to combat various types of pests. Discover how to use it effectively to keep unwanted intruders away!
Cockroaches: An Effective Method
Cockroaches are resilient and can crawl anywhere, reproducing very quickly. But when it comes to baking soda, they don’t stand a chance!
The method:
- Mix 80 grams of baking soda with 80 grams of sugar.
- Sprinkle this mixture where cockroaches are found: under the sink, behind appliances, and near food sources.
- Cockroaches are attracted to sugar and ingest the baking soda, which reacts with the water in their bodies — deadly for them.
Ants: A Great Solution
Ants follow specific trails to enter our homes in search of food. With baking soda, you can block their path.
The technique:
- Mix 80 grams of baking soda with 80 grams of sugar.
- Place this mixture where ants pass by (window sills, base of doors, cracks in walls).
- Ants are drawn to the sugar and ingest the baking soda, which disrupts their digestive system and kills them.
Bonus tip: To prevent them from coming back, identify entry points and seal them with putty or white vinegar!
Mice and Rats: A Natural Trap
Did you know rodents can’t release gas? When they ingest baking soda, gas builds up inside them, which is lethal.
Effective bait recipe:
- Mix 130 grams of baking soda, 130 grams of sugar, and 130 grams of flour.
- Add hot water until a paste forms.
- Make small balls and place them where rodents often go.
⚠️ Caution: Keep this mixture out of reach of pets!
