For those who want to avoid boric acid entirely, here’s a safer version of a classic roach bait:
You’ll Need:
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- 1 tablespoon flour or cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon molasses or honey
How to Use:
- Mix baking soda and flour in a small bowl.
- Add molasses to form a sticky paste.
- Place in small dishes in corners or under cabinets.
- Roaches eat the mixture and die from digestive distress.
✅ Note: Keep away from pets and young children — while safe in small amounts, large ingestions should be avoided.
