Baking soda is my favorite natural household product because it’s one of the most versatile products around; it can be used for both medicinal and cleaning purposes. But while baking soda is beneficial for humans, it’s very harmful for ants.
It simply disrupts their bodies’ natural chemistry. Ants have an acidic substance inside their bodies, which will react negatively once in contact with baking soda. This baking soda method is every effective because ants carry the food source back to their nest, where other ants will eat it.
