Want to go further? Here’s a simple homemade recipe that’s easy to make:

Ingredients :

  • 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar
  • 4 tablespoons of wheat flour
  • 3 tablespoons of toothpaste
  • 3 tablespoons of warm water

Instructions for use:

Mix all the ingredients until you get a smooth paste. Form small balls (walnut-sized) and place them in areas frequented by insects. The sugar attracts them, but the mixture acts as a repellent. Repeat two to three times a week for maximum effectiveness.

A safe gesture for the whole family

Unlike many commercial products, which are often loaded with harsh substances, this tip is gentle and risk-free . Safe for children and pets, it allows you to act with peace of mind, without exposing your home to chemical components.

For a peaceful interior, focus on prevention

The toothpaste trick is a great one, but it’s no substitute for good daily hygiene. To prevent recurrence, consider:

  • Clean up crumbs and food residue.
  • Empty the trash regularly.
  • Seal food in airtight containers.
  • Repair water leaks and seal cracks.

A well-maintained interior is already 80% of the work done!
