4. Observe and Replace
• Check the bait daily.
• Replace the paste every 2–3 days or when it dries out for continued effectiveness.
5. Prevent Future Infestations
• Keep your home clean, especially the kitchen, to avoid attracting pests.
• Seal cracks and crevices where insects may enter.
• Regularly dispose of garbage and avoid leaving food uncovered.
Why This Works:
The toothpaste acts as both a lure and a killer. The sweetness from the sugar or honey draws the insects in, while the fluoride and baking soda disrupt their internal systems. Meanwhile, the sticky nature of toothpaste immobilizes them, making escape nearly impossible.
A Natural, Safe Solution
This toothpaste method is a safer, more natural alternative to chemical pesticides. It’s especially handy if you have children or pets and want to avoid exposing them to harmful toxins. Plus, it’s cost-effective, using items you likely already have at home!
Say goodbye to cockroaches and ants — and hello to a cleaner, pest-free home — with just a tube of toothpaste and a little creativity (=^･ω･^=) !
