Sugar with Baking Soda.
Using sugar and baking soda to kill roaches is a tried-and-true natural method. The smell of the sugar attracts the pests, but baking soda makes sure they won’t survive. Baking soda reacts with water when the roach consumes it, causing gas to build up inside the roach and eventually cause its stomach to explode, killing the roach. Because they eat deceased roaches, other roaches pick up the lethal chemical and succumb to it as well. To use sugar and baking soda to get rid of roaches in your house, follow these steps:
Use a small plate or the lid of a gallon milk jug.
(a) Fill the container or lid with an equal mixture of sugar and baking soda. This is the lure.
(c) Place a water-containing dish or lid nearby.
(d) Refill the bait and water when you notice dead roaches near the bait.
(e) Place these bait and water dishes in the garage, within cabinets and pantries, behind appliances, and anywhere else you think roaches might live and breed.
