I mean from a cursory glance, yeah Googling it doesn’t look great. Baking soda, diatomaceous earth, boric acid, and bay leaves come up as the top results. I didn’t even consider any of those having worked for a few years in my early 20s as an exterminator. Right when I quit we were starting to use the “green options” like eucalyptus oil spray if people requested but they barely did anything. They were mostly for paranoid people with too much money who didn’t really have bugs in the first place. We weren’t spraying apartment buildings (which often had the most problems) with that stuff.

More broadly to your point, I am certain recipes and diet advice at least are totally captured by SEO with bad advice. My cooking has improved so much now that I stopped Googling recipes and mostly consult Kenji’s Food Lab book. For fat loss, I’ve lost 80 pounds mostly eating tons of fat and completely cutting out sugars/grains. The Internet is in a sad state where a Google search that can make someone money will often steer you wrong.
