How to Use Onions as a Pest Remedy?
Ingredients You’ll Need
1 large onion (finely chopped or blended).
Baking soda or boric acid (optional for extra potency).
A small amount of water (to create a paste).
Steps to Prepare and Use the Remedy
Chop or Blend the Onion: Finely chop an onion or blend it into a paste. The stronger the smell, the better!
Mix with Baking Soda or Boric Acid: Combine the onion with a teaspoon of baking soda or boric acid (optional but highly effective).
Create a Paste: Add a few drops of water to make a thick paste.
Strategic Placement: Apply the mixture in areas where you’ve noticed cockroaches or lizards—behind furniture, in kitchen corners, or near entry points.
Watch the Magic Happen: Within 5-10 minutes, the pests will either flee or succumb to the mixture’s effects.

Eco-Friendly: Unlike chemical sprays, onions are safe for you, your family, and your pets.
Cost-Effective: You probably already have onions in your kitchen, making this a budget-friendly solution.
Non-Toxic Pest Repellent: Even without the baking soda or boric acid, onions alone can drive away pests thanks to their strong aroma.
