🪳 The Toothpaste Trick to Get Rid of Cockroaches – Simple and Effective! – Page 2

Toothpaste contains ingredients like sodium fluoride or menthol that are toxic or irritating to insects.

Flour or starch binds the bait and mimics food texture.

Roaches consume the bait, carry it back to their nest, and can spread it to others, increasing the effectiveness.

✅ Benefits of the Toothpaste Trick

Non-toxic (to humans & pets) if used with care
Cost-effective—you probably already have everything you need
No harsh smells or chemical fumes
Easy to place in hard-to-reach corners where roaches hide

🧼 Extra Prevention Tips

Pair this trick with other simple home habits to keep roaches away long-term:

Keep food sealed and stored properly.
Don’t leave dirty dishes overnight.
Wipe down counters and sweep crumbs daily.
Take out trash regularly.
Seal cracks or crevices where roaches may enter.
