Cockroaches thrive in warm, humid areas with easy access to food crumbs—making kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms prime real estate. Unfortunately, once they move in, they bring a sense of discomfort and unease with them.
Store-bought repellents may promise quick fixes, but they can compromise indoor air quality and may not be pet-friendly.
That’s why an old-fashioned remedy has been making a comeback: a simple mix of onion and baking soda. Safe, natural, and surprisingly effective, this duo helps repel cockroaches without harming your family or the environment.

What you’ll need:
