Bugs around toothpaste and toothbrush?

I%26#039;m using a natural toothpaste and I%26#039;m having problems with attracting little flies around the cap of the toothpaste and on the toothbrush itself (ew!). Is there anything that I can do to naturally rid of them? Would soaking the brush in some hotwater help, along with the end cap to the toothpaste? I have been keeping the rest of the bathroom clean, so this is driving me nuts!

Put your toothpaste cap on, and I would put a cap on your toothbrush they make cases, or put it in the medicing cabinet in a cup, or you can put it in a plastic bag, like a sandwich bag, that%26#039;s all I can really think of, hope it helps (:
Reply:there must be a somethin in the natural paste that is attracting. through those away to avoid any bacteria and infection to be on the safe side. like the other user said, use a sanwich bag, medicine cabinet, or small cabinet bag to keep your toothpaste, brush and floss in.... u know the small ones u normally carry when u travel
Reply:buy a new toothbrush and a diferent brand of toothpaste, or use baking soda on your teeth.
Reply:I put our toothbrushes in the dishwasher once a week and while they are in the bath room I have a plastic cup container and everyday I rinse it out and put a splash of listerine in the bottom.. To keep them clean.. You can also buy plastic cap for your toothbrush.. .I use regular toothpaste and dip it baking soda and brush... I hope this helps good luck
