How to Use Baking Soda to Get Rid of Pests: Cockroaches, Fleas, Ants, Moths, Mice/Rats, Spiders, and More

Cockroaches, fleas, ants, moths, rats, spiders, and mice are just some of the pests that baking soda may help eliminate. What’s more, it’s an eco-friendly tool that works well. As a deterrent for many undesirable intruders, it operates by interfering with the physiological processes of pests. If you want to avoid using toxic chemicals around your house, try this method using baking soda instead.

1. Pest cockroaches

Cockroaches will die if they ingest baking soda. Baking soda and the acid in the roaches’ stomachs mix to produce gas, which is lethal to the pests.

For the recipe, combine the sugar and baking soda in equal proportions. While baking soda kills roaches, sugar lures them in.

To discourage roaches, either put the mixture in shallow dishes or sprinkle it in areas where they are known to congregate, such as along baseboards, beneath sinks, and near cracks.

Keep doing this until the pest problem goes away.

Secondly, fleas 🐾

Fleas in carpets, pet beds, and other surfaces may be dehydrated and killed using baking soda.

Instructions: Cover your carpets, rugs, and animal bedding with a generous sprinkle of baking soda.

Scrub the fibers well with a brush to incorporate the baking soda.

Before you vacuum it up, let it a few hours to sit, or even better, leave it alone over night.

To get rid of fleas, repeat process every several days.
