Simple way to get rid of cockroaches: Use only one ingredient readily available in your home.

How to Use Baking Soda Against Cockroaches

Since this article focuses on using only one ingredient, the method relies on proper placement and consistency.

Step-by-Step Method

1. Identify problem areas
   • Under sinks
   • Behind refrigerators
   • Near trash cans
   • Along baseboards
   • Near drains
2. Sprinkle a thin layer of baking soda
   • Focus on cracks and crevices
   • Avoid piles; thin coverage works better
3. Leave it undisturbed
   • Do not vacuum immediately
   • Allow roaches to walk through it
4. Reapply every few days
   • Especially after cleaning or moisture exposure

When cockroaches walk through baking soda, they ingest it while grooming themselves.

Why Placement Matters More Than Quantity

Using more baking soda does not make it work faster.

Cockroaches:

• Avoid obvious piles
• Prefer hidden paths
• Travel along walls and edges

A thin, discreet layer placed in the right locations is far more effective than large visible amounts.
