Step-by-Step Instructions
For Rats:
- Prepare the Peppermint Repellent:
- Soak cotton balls in peppermint oil.
- Place the cotton balls near entry points, under sinks, or in areas where rats are active.
- Create the Baking Soda Bait:
- Mix equal parts baking soda and sugar or flour in a bowl.
- Place the mixture in small containers or bottle caps.
- Set these traps in areas frequented by rats, such as behind appliances, in cabinets, or near their droppings.
- Eliminate Entry Points:
- Seal holes and cracks around your home to prevent rats from returning.
For Roaches:
- Create the Roach Killer:
- Mix baking soda and sugar in equal parts.
- Sprinkle the mixture along baseboards, under sinks, and in corners where roaches are seen.
- Use Peppermint Spray:
- Combine 10 drops of peppermint oil with a cup of water in a spray bottle.
- Spray along entry points, such as windowsills, doorframes, and cracks.
- Maintain Cleanliness:
- Roaches thrive in dirty environments, so vacuum regularly and keep your kitchen free of crumbs and grease.
Why It Works
- Baking Soda: When ingested, baking soda reacts with the stomach acids of pests, releasing gas that they cannot expel. This makes it an effective, humane way to eliminate them.
- Peppermint Oil: The strong smell overwhelms rodents’ sensitive noses, driving them away.
- Sugar: Acts as bait to lure pests toward the baking soda.
Prevention Tips
Once you’ve eliminated rats and roaches, take steps to prevent them from returning:
- Seal Cracks and Holes: Use caulk to seal gaps around pipes, vents, and windows.
- Store Food Properly: Keep food in airtight containers and clean up crumbs immediately.
- Take Out the Trash: Dispose of garbage regularly and use sealed trash bins.
- Fix Leaks: Roaches are attracted to moisture, so repair dripping faucets and pipes.
