The DIY Toothpaste Trick: Say Goodbye to Rodents for Good!
The DIY Toothpaste Trick: Say Goodbye to Rodents for Good! "Mice and rats—they’re not just unwelcome houseguests, they’re downright filthy! And while they may not be practicing great hygiene, what if we gave them a reason to rethink their life choices? Like… a toothpaste bait that’s a trap in disguise! Forget squeaky clean teeth—this little trick will leave rodents wishing they’d stayed far away." "Now, believe it or not, toothpaste isn’t just for keeping your teeth clean. Today, it’s the secret ingredient in a simple and effective homemade mousetrap that will solve your rodent problems for good. The fluoride in the toothpaste is toxic to Mice and rats. To make this trap, here’s what you’ll need:" "Two tablespoons of toothpaste. Mice can’t resist the sweeteners and flavors it contains. Next, Add one tablespoon of baking soda, one tablespoon of sugar, two tablespoons of flour, and four tablespoons of salted, well-crushed peanuts. The sugar and peanuts attract the rodents, while the baking soda does the heavy lifting to finish them off." "Start by putting all your ingredients into a bowl. Mix them together until you get a compact, dough-like consistency bound together by the toothpaste. It should be smooth and easy to shape." "Now, roll the mixture into small balls. These will be your bait! They’re deceptively inviting to rodents, thanks to the sugary peanuts, but they’re also packed with everything needed to send them packing—for good." "Place the bait balls near places where you’ve spotted signs of rodent activity—like droppings, chew marks, or holes. These little balls of doom are irresistible to mice and rats. Once they taste them, the baking soda will react in their stomachs, and, well… let’s just say they won’t be coming back for seconds."
