soda as a repellent, and a few drops of vanilla extract for an irresistible scent.
In a small, shallow container, such as a jar lid or small ramekin, combine one tablespoon of powdered sugar with one tablespoon of baking soda. Add two to three drops of pure vanilla extract and mix until a crumbly, aromatic paste forms. The sweet, soothing scent of vanilla is reminiscent of the food sources they seek.
A small vessel can be placed in the corners of a cabinet, under the sink, or behind the refrigerator.
