Introduction
Tired of battling ants, cockroaches, or other household pests using harsh chemical sprays? Nature offers us gentle yet powerful alternatives—and two of the most effective ingredients are probably already in your kitchen: baking soda and salt. This natural pest control method is cost-effective, non-toxic to humans and pets (when used correctly), and incredibly easy to prepare. Let’s explore how this dynamic duo can help you reclaim your home from unwanted critters.
Ingredients
½ cup baking soda
½ cup table salt (fine grain preferred)
Optional: 10 drops of peppermint essential oil (for added repellent power and scent)
Instructions
Mix the Ingredients: In a clean bowl, combine baking soda and salt thoroughly. If using essential oil, add the drops and mix again to distribute evenly.
Target Pest Zones: Identify pest-prone areas—under sinks, along windowsills, behind appliances, and near baseboards.
Apply the Mixture: Sprinkle the blend generously in these areas. Use a spoon or shaker for even application.
Let It Work: Leave the mixture undisturbed overnight. Reapply every few days or after vacuuming.
