THE Science
Fresh Cab® Plant-Based Ant & Cockroach Deterrent combines three botanical oils ants and cockroaches naturally avoid, embedded in our signature breathable pouch. The result is a clean, plant-based deterrent you can place and forget — no spraying, no traps, no mess.
Disrupts ant pheromone trails, breaking their communication and preventing infestations.
Proven to create an inhospitable environment for crawling insects.
Deters roaches by overwhelming their sensory receptors.
Amplifies the performance of botanical oils, ensuring broader coverage and maximum effectiveness.
Provides a stable base for slow-release diffusion, offering continuous protection for up to 30 days.
HOW TO USE
No setup, no mixing, no mess. Fresh Cab starts deterring ants and cockroaches the moment you open the pouch.
Remove pouch from overwrap and place in kitchens, pantries, laundry rooms, under sinks, behind appliances, garages, basements, and RVs.
Use 1 pouch per 8 sq. ft. for targeted protection. For larger spaces or visible ant or cockroach activity, add more pouches for stronger deterring power.
To prevent pests from returning, replace when the herbal scent diminishes. In sealed spaces like winterized RVs, pouches may last longer.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know - from ingredients and safety to how many pouches you need.
Yes — same plant-based formula, new name. Fresh Cab® Plant-Based Ant & Cockroach Deterrent was previously sold asStay Away® Ants & Cockroaches. We brought it under the Fresh Cab® family to make it easier to find all of our botanical pest deterrents in one place. The peppermint, lemongrass, and thyme blend, the corn cob pouch, and the up-to-30-day duration are unchanged.
It's formulated to deter ants and cockroaches — the two pests listed on the package. If you're dealing with other pest problems, EarthKind makes targeted plant-based deterrents for rodents, spiders, moths, and mosquitoes as well.
Up to 30 days in most environments. In high-traffic or well-ventilated areas, you may want to refresh sooner; in enclosed cabinets or storage spaces, pouches often stay effective longer.
Anywhere you've seen ant or cockroach activity — or anywhere you want to prevent it. Common spots include under sinks, behind appliances, inside pantries and cabinets, in garages and basements, and in RVs or storage areas. As a general rule, use one pouch per 8 sq. ft. for targeted protection.
Yes — Fresh Cab® Ant & Cockroach Deterrent is made from plant-based ingredients and is safe to use in homes with kids and pets when used as directed. As with any product, keep pouches out of reach of small children and curious animals who might try to chew on them.
Sprays kill on contact but evaporate quickly and can leave residue behind. Bait traps draw pests in to kill them, which often means dead pests to clean up afterward. Fresh Cab does neither — it uses plant oils to make the area unappealing, so pests move along on their own. No kill, no traps, no cleanup.
Give Fresh Cab a few days to fully diffuse. If you're not seeing improvement after a week, try adding more pouches (especially in larger or well-ventilated rooms) and make sure they're placed close to the activity, not across the room. And if it's still not working for you, our 100% money-back guarantee has you covered.
If Fresh Cab® doesn't work the way you hoped, we'll make it right. Every EarthKind product is backed by our 100% money-back guarantee — because peace of mind is the whole point.
