FAQ:
Q: Is this mixture safe for pets?
A: While the ingredients are mostly food-grade, it’s best to keep the bait out of pets’ reach—especially if you add any toxic substitutions like boric acid.
Q: How long does it take to see results?
A: You may notice reduced activity within 3–5 days. For severe infestations, give it up to 2 weeks.
Q: Will this kill the pests or just repel them?
A: This mix disrupts the pests’ digestive systems (especially due to baking soda), which can be fatal to them over time.
Q: Can I use this outdoors?
A: Yes, but protect it from rain and moisture by placing it in covered or sheltered areas.
