How to Remove Ants, Mites, and Cockroaches at Home Forever with the Toothpaste Hack

Cockroaches, ants, and mites are attracted to sugary, starchy foods — but they’re not picky.
This homemade bait lures them in with food — then delivers a lethal surprise.

Here’s the science behind each ingredient:

Sugar
Acts as a sweet bait — cockroaches and ants can’t resist it
White wheat flour
Adds bulk and starch, making the bait more appealing
Water
Binds the mixture into a soft, moldable consistency
Toothpaste
The secret weapon — containsfluoride, abrasives, and detergentsthat disrupt insect digestion and dehydrate their systems

While toothpaste isn’t a registered insecticide, its chemical composition is toxic to small pests when ingested.
Once a cockroach eats the bait, it carries the mixture back to its nest — killing others through secondary exposure.

And because the bait is non-volatile and residue-free, it’s safer than sprays — especially around kids and pets.


🧪 How to Make the Toothpaste Pest-Killer

You’ll Need:

  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 tablespoons white wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 3 tablespoons regular white toothpaste (avoid gel or whitening types)
  • 3 tablespoons water

🔬 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Mixture

  • In a small bowl, combine all ingredients.
  • Mix thoroughly until you get a smooth, dough-like consistency — not too sticky, not too dry.

✅ TIP: IF IT’S TOO WET, ADD A BIT MORE FLOUR. TOO DRY? ADD A SPLASH OF WATER.
