12. Natural roach remedies: A baking soda and sugar mix

You probably have baking soda in your pantry. But did you know that it can be a secret weapon against roaches when combined with sugar? The principle here is simple. The sugar acts as bait, luring the roaches to a central area. The roaches eat the baking soda and sugar together. Baking soda is caustic to roaches, so they die shortly after ingesting the sugar-baking soda mix.

To use this method, mix equal parts baking soda and sugar. Then, sprinkle them in areas where roach activity is high. This is a cost-effective and natural solution that anyone can prepare. Be sure to keep young children and pets away from the mixture as it can cause illness if ingested in large amounts.
