- Dab the paste onto cotton balls or small bottle caps.
- Place these in areas where cockroaches are commonly seen, such as:
- Under sinks
- Behind appliances
- In cabinets
- Near garbage bins
Step 3: Observe the Magic
- The sugar attracts the cockroaches to the bait.
- Once consumed, the baking soda reacts with their digestive system, causing them to die within minutes.
Why This Works
- Colgate Toothpaste: Contains menthol, which acts as a mild repellent and irritant for cockroaches.
- Baking Soda: Reacts with the cockroach’s stomach acids, creating fatal gases.
- Sugar: Attracts the cockroaches to the bait for effective elimination.
Tips for Best Results
- Refresh the Bait: Replace the mixture every 1–2 days to keep it effective.
- Strategic Placement: Focus on dark, damp areas where cockroaches thrive.
- Cleanliness: Ensure your home is clean and free of food scraps to reduce cockroach attraction.
