🪳 The Toothpaste Trick to Eliminate Cockroaches for Good — Simple, Cheap, and Shockingly Effective!
If you’ve ever dealt with cockroaches, you know just how stubborn and creepy they can be. These unwelcome guests seem to show up out of nowhere, multiply fast, and are notoriously difficult to get rid of. But before you call pest control or start spraying harsh chemicals, you might want to head to your bathroom instead…
Because believe it or not, the humble tube of toothpaste might just be your secret weapon against cockroaches — and yes, it really works.
🧼 Why Toothpaste Works Against Cockroaches
Toothpaste, especially the white, non-gel kind, contains ingredients like baking soda, peppermint oil, and detergents — all of which are unpleasant or even toxic to cockroaches. When combined with a few pantry staples, toothpaste becomes part of a simple homemade bait that’s both effective and safe to use in homes with kids and pets.
It’s non-toxic to humans, easy to apply, and targets roaches right at the source.
🧪 What You’ll Need for the Toothpaste Cockroach Bait:
This DIY trick uses everyday items you probably already have at home:
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon white toothpaste
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon sugar or powdered sugar
- A little water (to form a paste)
📝 The sugar lures the roaches in, the toothpaste masks the trap and helps kill them, and the baking soda reacts with their digestive system — leading to their demise.
🧤 How to Use the Toothpaste Bait:
- Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl to create a thick paste.
- Use a spoon or cotton swab to place small dabs of the mixture in areas where you’ve seen cockroach activity:
- Behind appliances (fridge, microwave, stove)
- Under sinks
- In bathroom corners
- Along baseboards or behind furniture
- Inside cabinets or pantry corners
