#### **Why It Works**:
The sugar attracts the rats, while the baking soda reacts with their stomach acid, causing gas to build up inside their bodies. Over time, this will cause discomfort and drive the rats away from the area. Keep in mind that rats need to consume a significant amount of the mixture for this to work effectively.
### **2. Baking Soda and Flour Method**
Another method for using baking soda to repel rats involves mixing it with flour. This mixture works similarly to the sugar-baking soda mixture but targets rats that are more likely to consume dry food products.
#### **What You Need**:
– Baking soda
– Flour (preferably whole wheat or all-purpose)
– A small container or tray
#### **Instructions**:
1. **Mix the Ingredients**: Combine equal parts flour and baking soda in a small bowl or dish.
2. **Set the Mixture Out**: Place the mixture in areas where rats have been spotted or along their known pathways, such as near cracks in walls, under appliances, or in attics and basements.
3. **Monitor the Area**: Regularly check the mixture and replace it if needed. You can also combine this method with other deterrents for better effectiveness.
#### **Why It Works**:
Just like the sugar mixture, this formula will attract rats due to the flour. When the rats ingest the mixture, the baking soda reacts with their stomach acids, creating gas and discomfort. This reaction causes the rats to avoid the area, gradually deterring them from entering your home.
### **3. Baking Soda in Areas of High Rat Activity**
If you know where the rats are hiding or traveling in your home, you can sprinkle baking soda directly into their nests or along their pathways. The key is to apply the baking soda in a way that the rats will encounter it.
#### **What You Need**:
– Baking soda
– A spoon or shaker for easier application
#### **Instructions**:
1. **Identify Rat Hotspots**: Locate areas where you’ve noticed rat activity, such as droppings, gnaw marks, or visible trails along walls or floors.
2. **Apply Baking Soda**: Using a spoon or shaker, sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda along these pathways or directly in the rats’ nests.
3. **Monitor and Reapply**: Reapply the baking soda after a few days, especially if it gets disturbed or disappears. Continue applying until the rats no longer appear to be active in the area.
#### **Why It Works**:
The rats will encounter the baking soda as they travel or nest in these areas. When ingested, the baking soda causes discomfort in their stomachs, gradually making your home less inviting for them.
### **4. DIY Baking Soda Rat Repellent Spray**
If you prefer a more direct application, you can create a baking soda-based spray. This method is effective for treating larger areas or places where rats have been nesting in hard-to-reach spots.
#### **What You Need**:
– Baking soda
– Water
– A spray bottle
**Instructions**:
1. **Make the Solution**: In a spray bottle, mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 1 cup of water. Shake well until the baking soda dissolves.
2. **Spray Problem Areas**: Spray the solution in areas where rats have been spotted, including cracks, holes, and around entry points.
3. **Reapply as Needed**: Reapply the solution every few days or whenever you notice new rat activity. The solution will not harm your walls or furniture but can deter rats from entering or staying in your home.
