Ants – The sticky texture of toothpaste clogs their breathing pores, stopping them in their tracks.
How to Use Toothpaste for a Pest-Free Home
1. Keep Mice Away with Minty Freshness
Identify mouse-prone areas (near holes, cracks, or kitchen corners).
Apply mint-flavored toothpaste to cotton balls or directly along entry points.
Refresh the application every few days for continued protection.
2. Say Goodbye to Cockroaches
Mix toothpaste with a bit of sugar to lure roaches.
Place the mixture in common hiding spots (under sinks, behind appliances, inside cabinets).
Roaches ingest the paste and won’t last long afterward.
3. Stop Ants in Their Tracks
Draw a thin line of toothpaste along windowsills, doorways, and any entry points.
For extra strength, mix toothpaste with a little baking soda and apply it where ants are spotted.
