Cockroaches and ants are among the most stubborn and unwelcome pests in any home. They spread bacteria, contaminate food, and are just plain unpleasant to deal with. Commercial insecticides often contain harsh chemicals, and they may not work instantly. Fortunately, there’s a fast, affordable, and natural solution you can make at home that can kill cockroaches in under 1 minute — and it’s effective against ants too!
Let’s break down how it works, how to prepare it, and why it’s so effective.
🧪 What Makes This DIY Remedy So Powerful?
This method uses common kitchen ingredients that are toxic to cockroaches and ants but safe for humans when used correctly. The star ingredient? Baking soda. Combined with other components like sugar or onions, it becomes a deadly trap that acts quickly and efficiently.
Here’s why it works:
- Baking soda reacts with the acid in a cockroach’s digestive system, causing a buildup of gas they can’t expel — leading to death.
- Sugar or sweet food attracts them to the bait.
- It can take effect within minutes, especially when cockroaches ingest enough of the bait.
