2. Mice and Rats
Create a mixture of baking soda and sugar. Place it in areas where you have noticed rodent activity. When ingested, the baking soda reacts with stomach acids, releasing gas, which mice and rats cannot expel, leading to death.
3. Cockroaches
Mix equal parts of baking soda and sugar. Place the mixture in places where cockroaches are likely to travel. The sugar attracts the cockroaches, and the baking soda disrupts their digestive systems.
4. Ants
Form a paste using baking soda and water. Apply the paste along ant trails and entry points. The baking soda interferes with their ability to thrive, effectively eliminating the colony.
5. Bedbugs
Lightly dust your mattress, bed frame, and cracks around your sleeping area with baking soda. This dehydrates and kills bedbugs over time.
6. Centipedes
Sprinkle baking soda around baseboards and other areas where centipedes are found. Baking soda’s desiccating effect takes care of them effectively.
Additional Tips and Precautions
While baking soda is generally safe, it’s advisable to handle it with care, especially if you have pets and children. Always vacuum the treated areas the next day to remove any residue. For severe infestations, it may be best to consult with a professional pest control service while continuing to use baking soda as a supplementary measure.
Conclusion
This baking soda trick is a viable, eco-friendly solution to eliminate common household pests. Easy to implement and gentle on the environment, it offers an effective method to maintain a clean and healthy home. By incorporating this simple trick into your pest control routine, you can enjoy a pest-free living space with minimal effort.
