The toothpaste trick to get rid of cockroaches and cockroaches for good.

🧪 DIY Toothpaste Cockroach Bait Recipe (Kill & Repel)

✅ Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon white toothpaste (avoid gel types)
• 1 egg yolk (raw) – attracts cockroaches with its strong smell
• 1 tablespoon sugar – acts as bait
• 1 tablespoon flour (or rice flour) – helps with texture and binding

🧑‍🍳 Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine:
   • 1 egg yolk
   • 1 tbsp toothpaste
   • 1 tbsp sugar
   • 1 tbsp flour
2. Mix well until it forms a smooth, sticky dough.
   • If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more flour to firm it up.
3. Roll the mixture into small balls about the size of peas.

📍 How to Use It Effectively:

• Place the bait balls in areas where cockroaches are active:
  • Under the sink
  • Behind the fridge
  • In kitchen corners
  • Near drains or garbage bins
  • Cracks and crevices
• Place the balls on small pieces of paper or inside bottle caps to protect your surfaces.
• Replace every 3–5 days, especially if they dry out or have been eaten.

⚠️ Tips & Warnings:

• Keep away from pets and small children.
• Avoid placing bait in wet or humid areas — it works best when dry.
• Don’t use insect sprays nearby, as they may repel cockroaches from the bait.

❓Why This Works:

• Egg yolk has a strong, natural scent that attracts cockroaches.
• Sugar draws them in.
• Toothpaste contains fluoride and menthol-like compounds that disrupt the cockroach’s digestive system.
• Once consumed, it can kill cockroaches over time and reduce the infestation.
