Even though the ants are enticed by the sweetness, the baking soda that they bring back with them has the opposite effect.
Step Three: Opening the Door to Cockroaches
The tenacious roaches are no match for baking soda.
What to Do:
If you suspect that silverfish may be hiding in your sink, toilet, or any other dark, damp area, lightly sprinkle the area with baking soda.
Because of its abrasive texture, they will run away in terror and think twice before coming back.
5. Get the Most Out of Baking Soda:
If you want your baking soda to keep bugs at bay, keep it dry.
Once every few days, stir in little more baking soda to your mixture.
Be careful if your dogs like to hang around in the places you’ve sprinkled baking soda. They won’t be hurt by a little pinch here and there, but it’s not a good idea to gorge yourself.
6. Final Thoughts
Baking soda is an inexpensive, all-natural weapon in the battle against certain annoying invaders. Its lack of toxicity makes it a great choice for families with young children and pets. But, it can be prudent to see a pest control specialist for advice on very difficult infestations or other types of pests. Key is prevention. The first line of protection against bugs is a dwelling that is clean and devoid of debris.
