Place pea-sized dots of toothpaste:
Along ant trails
Behind appliances (not inside them)
Do not spread toothpaste on food surfaces or where pets can reach it.
Step 3: Observe and Clean
Leave in place for several hours or overnight
Wipe away residue the next day
Reapply only if needed
The scent may disrupt insect movement and discourage return.
Why This Works Better for Ants
Confuse navigation
Break established trails
Encourage ants to relocate
Cockroaches may avoid the area but are more resilient, so results vary.
Important Safety Notes
❌ Never mix toothpaste with other chemicals
❌ Do not use near food preparation areas
