Keep your home, especially the kitchen, clean and crumb-free.
Seal cracks and gaps where pests enter.
Dispose of garbage regularly and avoid leaving food uncovered.
Why This Method Works
The sweetness lures ants and cockroaches, while the fluoride and baking soda act as the “poison.” The sticky texture of toothpaste also immobilizes insects, making it difficult for them to escape.
A Natural, Safer Solution
This simple method is:
Safe — fewer toxins compared to chemical sprays (especially important for homes with children or pets).
Budget-Friendly — uses ingredients you likely already have.
Effective — works both as a repellent and as a trap.
Final Thoughts
Who knew that a tube of toothpaste could double as a natural pest control tool? With just a little creativity, you can keep cockroaches and ants at bay — without harsh chemicals.
Next time you spot an unwanted visitor, try this method and enjoy a cleaner, pest-free home.
