How it works: Cockroaches ingest baking soda, which reacts with the acids in their digestive system, ultimately leading to their demise.

Application: Mix equal parts of baking soda and sugar to attract cockroaches. Sprinkle this mixture in areas where you've seen cockroaches (like under sinks, along baseboards, or behind appliances).

Fleas:

How it works: Baking soda helps to dry out the fleas, killing them in the process.

Application: Sprinkle baking soda over carpets, upholstery, and pet bedding. Use a brush to work the baking soda deep into the fibers. Let it sit for a few hours before vacuuming. Repeat as necessary.

Application: Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar. Place the mixture in the areas where ants are entering your home (around windows, doors, or near their trails).
