To try it, mix equal amounts of baking soda and powdered sugar, then place small portions in shallow containers near areas where cockroaches are often seen, such as under sinks, behind appliances, and along walls.
Keeping the home dry and free of food is just as important. Clean crumbs and spills, repair leaking pipes, store food in sealed containers, empty trash regularly, and seal gaps where cockroaches may enter.
Keep the mixture away from children and pets. For a large or persistent infestation, homemade remedies may not be enough, and professional pest control may be the better option.
