Transform your kitchen pantry into a powerful pest control arsenal with these simple, eco-friendly solutions. These natural alternatives are safer for your family, pets, and the environment while effectively managing common household pests.
White Vinegar Solution
Create an effective ant and fly deterrent by combining equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. The acidic nature of vinegar eliminates the chemical trails that ants use for navigation, effectively breaking their communication system. Apply this solution directly to ant pathways, windowsills, and areas where flies congregate. The strong scent also serves as a natural repellent that discourages these pests from returning.
Baking Soda Trap
Cockroaches meet their match with this simple two-ingredient solution. Combine equal parts baking soda and granulated sugar in a shallow container, then place it in areas where cockroaches are active. The sugar acts as an irresistible bait, while the baking soda creates a fatal reaction in their digestive system when consumed. This method is particularly effective because cockroaches cannot expel gas, making the baking soda lethal to them.
