nyone who’s ever had cockroaches at home knows how frustrating it can be. These pests love dark, warm, and food-filled areas — especially behind appliances or in the corners of your kitchen. Once they settle in, they multiply quickly and become difficult to remove.
But here’s a little-known home remedy that’s surprisingly effective: the toothpaste trick! 🧴✨
🧪 Why It Works
Cockroaches are attracted to strong smells — especially anything that smells like food. Many toothpastes contain ingredients like sweeteners, mint, and even flour-based binders that lure roaches. When combined with other common ingredients, you can turn it into a homemade roach bait that kills them after consumption.
🧰 What You’ll Need:
1 tablespoon toothpaste (any brand)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking soda
A few drops of water (to create a thick paste)
