2. Prepare the Bait:
Mix a small amount of toothpaste with an equal part of powdered sugar or flour. The sugar or flour acts as an attractant, luring the cockroaches to the bait. The toothpaste, with its boric acid content, acts as a poison that will ultimately eliminate the pests.
3. Apply the Bait:
Place small amounts of the toothpaste mixture in strategic areas where cockroaches are commonly found, such as near cracks, crevices, and entry points. Ensure that the bait is out of reach of children and pets.
4. Monitor and Repeat:
Check the bait regularly to see if cockroaches have been attracted to it. If you notice activity, it means the bait is working. Allow the cockroaches to consume the bait and return to their hiding places. This will help spread the poison to other members of the colony. Repeat the process until the cockroach population is significantly reduced or eliminated.
