There are so many simple tricks being advertised out there to rid your place of cockroaches. Nobody likes cockroaches in their homes. They’re dirty and sometimes disease carriers. Maybe you have tried most of them, but still didn’t work. Of course, you can always use bug spray. But then sometimes they’re toxic. So if you’re the kind who wants to avoid chemicals, perhaps you can try one more simple trick. Mr. Maker on Youtube teaches his viewers how to kill cockroaches in just 5 minutes using balls made of dough and some Colgate magic. Yup, you read that right! You can use toothpaste as an ingredient to make these balls that people swear can kill these pesky bugs.
Materials:
- all-purpose flour
- sugar
- 1 Colgate tube
- glass bowl
- water
- plate
Directions:
Get a glass bowl. Add the sugar and the flour to it. Then grab 1 tube of Colgate. Pour a generous amount into the bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of water. Mix all the ingredients with a spoon. Combine thoroughly until the mixture becomes thick like dough.
Take out the dough with your hand. Get a plate and place it on the plate. Knead the batter with your fingers. Then cut a few inches from the dough. Roll each cut into a ball. You will eventually have small rolled dough balls on the plate.
Once you have several balls, you place some in the spots where you think the cockroaches pass or stay. So maybe you can put it under the fridge. Or in the corners of your room. You can place some by the sides of your sink as well. Just make sure you place more than one.
So there you have it. It’s a very simple trick you can use to rid your house of cockroaches. And all you need are just a few ingredients and materials you can find in your kitchen and toiletries.
