It was my worst nightmare.
Guests were over, and as I carried drinks into the kitchen, roaches skittered across the floor.
I froze. They saw.
The look on their faces? I’ll never forget it.
I’d already spent money on chemical sprays, traps, and powders.
They barely worked — and left me coughing, nauseous, and still sharing my kitchen with bugs.
Then one day, our old handyman stopped by to fix a leaky faucet.
As he packed up, he noticed a trap in the corner and smirked.
“Baking soda,” he said.
I raised an eyebrow.
“Just mix it with sugar. Trust me.”
I didn’t — at first.
But that night, out of pure frustration, I tried it.
🧂 Why Baking Soda Works:
This simple, natural powder is more than a cleaner — it’s a safe and deadly weapon against roaches.
When combined with a little sweetness (like sugar), roaches eat the mix, and the baking soda reacts with acids in their stomachs — killing them from the inside.
No harsh smells.
No coughing.
Just results.
