What you’ll need:
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar (easier for women to carry)
Procedure:
Mix both ingredients.
Sprinkle on the edges of baseboards, windows, entrances and any place where you see ant traffic.
Tip: Identify the paths that ants follow to better locate the dust.
3. Fleas
Baking soda helps dehydrate both adult fleas and eggs, interrupting the breeding cycle.
What you’ll need:
1 cup baking soda
1 soft-bristled brush
Vacuum cleaner
Procedure:
Sprinkle the baking soda on carpets, pet beds, and couches.
Use the brush to scrub the powder so that it penetrates well into the fibers.
Leave on for 12 to 24 hours and then vacuum carefully.
Tip: Do this twice a week if there is an active infestation.
4. Moths (clothes and pantry)
Baking soda absorbs odors and moisture, which creates an unpleasant environment for moths to lay eggs.
What you’ll need:
3 tablespoons baking soda
Cloth bags or small jars, uncovered
Procedure:
Fill the sachets or jars with baking soda.
Place them in drawers, closets, cupboards, and stored laundry boxes.
Tip: Renew the contents every 2 months and you can combine it with cloves or dried orange peels to enhance the repellent effect.
