2. Add Essential Oils (Optional)
Add 5–10 drops of peppermint or eucalyptus oil to enhance the scent and repel other pests.
3. Place Strategically
Put small amounts of the mixture in shallow dishes or on pieces of cardboard near pest entry points, behind appliances, and along walls. For rats, place the bait near suspected nests or pathways (but out of reach of children and pets).
4. Monitor and Reapply
⚠️ Safety Precautions
- Keep bait out of reach of pets and children, as boric acid can be toxic if ingested in large amounts.
 - Use gloves when handling boric acid powder.
 - Do not place bait in areas accessible to non-target animals.
 
Why This Remedy Works So Quickly
Rats and roaches are attracted to the sweet bait, but once they consume the mixture, the boric acid and baking soda interfere with their digestive processes. This leads to rapid elimination, often noticeable the same day.
