Tired of battling cockroaches that seem to survive everything? Here’s an easy, inexpensive, and effective DIY trap that will get rid of those pesky bugs in just 10 minutes. Say goodbye to harmful chemicals and try this safe solution right at home!
Why This Trap Works
This method combines the power of two household items that cockroaches cannot resist or survive:
- Baking Soda
- Acts as a lethal agent by reacting with their digestive system.
- Sugar
- Attracts cockroaches due to its sweetness.
When the cockroach consumes the mixture, the reaction in its stomach produces gas, which it cannot expel, ultimately leading to its demise.
Ingredients Needed
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- A small shallow dish or lid
Instructions
- Mix the Trap:
- In a small bowl, combine equal parts baking soda and sugar. Mix well.
- Prepare the Trap:
- Spread the mixture onto a shallow dish, lid, or small container.
- Strategic Placement:
- Place the dish in areas where you’ve seen cockroach activity, such as:
- Under the sink
- Near garbage bins
- Around kitchen cabinets and counters
- In bathroom corners
- Place the dish in areas where you’ve seen cockroach activity, such as:
- Optional Water Trap:
- Place a small dish of water nearby. Cockroaches will drink the water after consuming the baking soda mixture, speeding up the reaction.
Results
Within 10 minutes of consuming this mixture, cockroaches will start dying due to the internal reaction of baking soda and stomach acids. You’ll see a noticeable reduction in their population with repeated use.
