Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons toothpaste (mint works best)
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- A few drops of water (optional, for consistency)
Instructions
- Mix the Ingredients:
In a small bowl, combine the toothpaste, baking soda, and sugar. Stir until it forms a thick paste. Add a few drops of water if it’s too dry. - Target Problem Areas:
Identify areas where you see ants, cockroaches, or signs of mice (like droppings or gnaw marks). - Place the Paste:
Use small spoonfuls to place dabs of the paste in corners, under sinks, behind appliances, or near entry points. For mice, spread a thin line near holes or baseboards. - Let It Work:
The sugar attracts pests, the toothpaste’s strong mint scent repels mice and roaches, and baking soda reacts in their stomachs — helping eliminate them. - Reapply as Needed:
Check every few days. Clean and refresh the paste if necessary until the problem stops.
đź’ˇ Pro Tip:
For extra strength, add a drop of essential oils like peppermint or eucalyptus — pests hate these smells!
