Suspicious traces in the kitchen? Night crawling? Don't panic: you're not alone. Rats, mice and other unwanted guests sometimes appear without warning... but there are natural, affordable and gentle solutions to tell them to stop.
If you have children or animals in your home, using chemicals or aggressive traps can be a problem. Fortunately, there is a safe, homemade method that can change everything – and restore your peace of mind without compromise.
Ingredients needed: three everyday products
This recipe may seem unusual, but it has already proven its effectiveness in many homes:
200 ml of cooked rice
About 2 cm layer of cement at the bottom of a cup (powdered)
1 tablespoon of toothpaste
Yes, you read that right! The cement acts as a desiccant, the rice attracts rodents with its familiar scent, and the toothpaste adds a scent that confuses the pests.
Quick and easy preparation
Pour the still warm rice into a bowl.
Add the dry cement and mix well until a uniform mixture is obtained.
Finally, add the toothpaste and continue mixing until a sticky but easy-to-shape paste forms.

How to use safely
Spread small amounts of the mixture in strategic places around the home: behind furniture, in corners of cabinets, under appliances, or in the garage. The goal is to remain unnoticeable but to place them in the path of pests.
Safety tip: if there are children or pets, choose places they cannot access, or place the mixture in small boxes with holes.
Why is this method so effective?
The mixture attracts rodents… but destroys their digestive system. The cement hardens inside it, leading to their gradual elimination. For cockroaches, the sweet aroma of pasta and rice is just as enticing – but the mixture is just as deadly to them.
This method is particularly useful in urban or semi-enclosed spaces, where classic solutions are not always sufficient.
For better results: useful habits
Keep the kitchen clean: don't leave crumbs on the counter and always close food packages.
Throw out the trash regularly and clean the bottom of the bin with disinfectant.
Seal small openings: even cracks in a window sill or under a door can become an entrance for intruders.
