BAKING SODA FOR PEST CONTROL 🌿
Baking soda is cheap, safe, and handy. With a few simple tricks, it can help keep pests away without using strong chemicals.
1️⃣ Cockroaches
Mix equal parts baking soda and sugar. Sprinkle behind fridges, stoves, and in dark corners.
2️⃣ Fleas
Blend baking soda with fine salt. Spread on carpets, rugs, and pet bedding. Leave for hours, then vacuum well.
3️⃣ Ants
Combine baking soda with powdered sugar. Place near ant trails, doorways, and nest spots.
4️⃣ Clothes Moths
Keep an open bowl of baking soda in wardrobes or storage boxes to reduce smells and discourage moths.
5️⃣ Mice & Rats
Mix baking soda with flour. Put small amounts along walls, holes, or places where rodents roam.
6️⃣ Spiders
Dissolve baking soda in water. Spray lightly into corners, behind furniture, and cracks.
7️⃣ Slugs, Snails & Centipedes
Sprinkle baking soda directly on paths or problem areas—avoid sprinkling on plants.
