We’ve all experienced that unpleasant moment—spotting a cockroach darting under furniture late at night. These pests are masters of stealth, slipping into homes unnoticed and settling in the most unexpected places.
But before reaching for those harsh chemical sprays that leave behind strong odors and potential health risks, consider this: you might already have a gentle, effective solution tucked away in your pantry.
Why Cockroaches Invade—and How to Tackle Them Naturally
Cockroaches thrive in warm, humid areas with easy access to food crumbs—making kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms prime real estate. Unfortunately, once they move in, they bring a sense of discomfort and unease with them.
Store-bought repellents may promise quick fixes, but they can compromise indoor air quality and may not be pet-friendly.
That’s why an old-fashioned remedy has been making a comeback: a simple mix of onion and baking soda. Safe, natural, and surprisingly effective, this duo helps repel cockroaches without harming your family or the environment.
How to Make the Onion + Baking Soda Mix
What you’ll need:
1 onion
1 teaspoon of baking soda
What to do:
1. Finely chop the onion.
2. Combine it with the baking soda.
3. Place small amounts of the mixture in bowls or directly into problem areas—under the sink, behind appliances, or near plumbing.
