If you’ve ever battled cockroaches in your home, you know how stubborn and frustrating they can be. These unwelcome pests are drawn to dark, warm spaces—especially if there’s food nearby. That’s why your kitchen corners often become prime hiding spots.
The challenge with cockroaches isn’t just their hiding spots—it’s how fast they reproduce. Once they settle in, they can feel nearly impossible to eliminate. But there’s a surprisingly easy homemade solution using something you already have in your bathroom: toothpaste.
How to Make the Toothpaste Bait
This quick DIY trick combines common household items into a powerful bait that lures and kills cockroaches.
What You’ll Need:
-
3 tablespoons of sugar
-
4 tablespoons of flour
-
3 tablespoons of toothpaste
-
3 tablespoons of water
Instructions:
-
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until you get a smooth, dough-like consistency.
-
Take small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls.
-
Place these bait balls in areas where cockroaches are likely to hide—under sinks, behind appliances, and in kitchen corners.
The sugar draws them in, the flour binds the mixture, and the toothpaste acts like a natural toxin that disrupts their system.
How Often Should You Use It?
For best results, repeat the process two to three times a week. Replace the bait as needed, and over time, you should start to see fewer and fewer cockroaches.
Just that.
