**Easy Way to Keep Cockroaches Away: Only 2 Ingredients!**
In this article, we’ll share the easy, DIY method for keeping cockroaches away using only **baking soda** and **sugar**. These two pantry staples are the foundation of an eco-friendly and budget-friendly pest control solution that’s safe for your family and pets.
### Why Baking Soda and Sugar Work for Cockroach Control
1. **Sugar Attracts Cockroaches**: Cockroaches are drawn to sweet smells, making sugar an excellent bait for luring them in. Once they are attracted to the sugar, they unknowingly consume the baking soda mixture.
2. **Baking Soda Kills Cockroaches**: Baking soda works by causing an upset stomach in cockroaches. When ingested, baking soda reacts with the acid in the cockroach’s stomach, producing gas that causes them to die from internal ruptures. Since cockroaches are constantly cleaning themselves, they may ingest the baking soda while grooming, unknowingly leading to their demise.
