Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is more than a baking ingredient — it’s a safe, natural, and affordable way to combat common household and garden pests.
How It Works
When ingested, baking soda reacts with acids in a pest’s digestive system, creating gas they can’t expel — leading to internal pressure and death.
How to Use It
Cockroaches
Mix equal parts baking soda and sugar.
Place in shallow containers near sinks, trash, or dark corners.
Ants
Mix baking soda with powdered sugar.
Sprinkle along ant trails or entry points.
