Check the bait daily.
Replace the paste every 2–3 days or when it dries out for continued effectiveness.
5. Prevent Future Infestations
Keep your home clean, especially the kitchen, to avoid attracting pests.
Seal cracks and crevices where insects may enter.
Regularly dispose of garbage and avoid leaving food uncovered.
Why This Works:
The toothpaste acts as both a lure and a killer. The sweetness from the sugar or honey draws the insects in, while the fluoride and baking soda disrupt their internal systems. Meanwhile, the sticky nature of toothpaste immobilizes them, making escape nearly impossible.
