What Baking Soda Can and Cannot Do
What It Can Do:
✔ Reduce cockroach activity
✔ Help control small infestations
✔ Support long-term prevention
✔ Work without toxic fumes
What It Cannot Do:
✘ Eliminate severe infestations alone
✘ Work instantly
✘ Replace sanitation and sealing
Understanding this prevents disappointment.
Why Cleanliness Still Matters
Even the best home remedy won’t work if roaches have unlimited food.
Cockroaches are attracted to:
- Crumbs
- Grease
- Open trash
- Pet food
- Moisture
To support baking soda’s effectiveness:
- Wipe counters daily
- Store food in sealed containers
- Take trash out regularly
- Fix leaks
The fewer resources roaches have, the more effective any method becomes.
