Cockroaches are unwelcome guests in any home, and they can be very hard to get rid of. The best way to rid the home of these unwanted pests is to use natural solutions, so I was really happy to find this wonderful video tutorial by Mr. Maker, on YouTube, that describes how to get rid of cockroaches using toothpaste. I had never realized that you could get rid of these pesky critters using something that is perfectly safe for humans, but this video tutorial was a real wake-up call. I learned that toothpaste mixture around places where the cockroaches hang out is a huge deterrent. Also, if you spray your countertops and sinks with lemon juice or lemon-scented cleaner, those bothersome ants will steer clear of those areas. Also, a sprinkling of cinnamon around the entry points will completely disrupt their travel plans!

Ingredients For This Natural Pesticide Mixture:

  • 3 teaspoons of sugar
  • 4 teaspoons of all-purpose flour
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons of toothpaste
  • 3 teaspoons of water (plus a little more as needed to make the dough bait balls)

Directions:

In this wonderful video tutorial by Mr. Maker, on YouTube, you will learn how to make these natural bait balls that will help control the pests in your home. You start by mixing the simple ingredients in a bowl.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
