Introduction
Are you tired of dealing with pesky rats and mice in your home? Instead of using harsh chemicals or expensive extermination services, there’s a surprising household item that can help—regular toothpaste! This simple yet effective remedy can deter rodents naturally and affordably. In this article, we’ll explore how to use toothpaste to keep your home rodent-free.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons of regular (non-gel) toothpaste
1 tablespoon of baking soda (optional for enhanced effectiveness)
1 teaspoon of sugar or peanut butter (to attract rodents)
1 tablespoon of flour (to thicken the mixture)
Directions:
In a small bowl, mix the toothpaste, baking soda, sugar (or peanut butter), and flour until a thick paste forms.
Roll the mixture into small, pea-sized balls or spread small amounts on pieces of cardboard.
Place these baits in areas where you have noticed rodent activity—near holes, corners, or food sources.
Monitor the areas and replace the baits as needed.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Keep the paste in an airtight container if making it in bulk.
Store the bait in a cool, dry place, away from pets and children.
Refresh the bait every few days for maximum effectiveness.
