Water
Water is needed to dissolve the borax and sugar, creating a homogeneous mixture that will be easier to handle and place in the right places.
Cotton balls or small pieces of cardboard
You will need something where the ants can easily access the poison. You can use cotton balls to soak up the mixture or small pieces of cardboard to act as a surface for the ants to pick up the bait.
Small container
You will need a container to mix the ingredients in. Make sure it is large enough so that you can mix the mixture without spilling it.
How to Prepare the Bait
Mix the Ingredients
In a small bowl, mix together one tablespoon of borax, half a cup of sugar, and one cup of hot water. Stir well until the borax and sugar are completely dissolved in the water.
Prepare the Bait
Drop cotton balls into the mixture to soak, or use small pieces of cardboard to spoon the mixture onto. These will serve as a base for the ants to pick up the bait.
Distribute the Poison
Place the cotton balls or cardboard pieces in the areas where you’ve seen the most ant activity. Typical locations include the kitchen, near windows or doors, or in any cracks where ants enter your home.
How the Poison Works
The ants will be attracted by the sweet smell of the sugar and will quickly consume the mixture. When carried back to the nest, the borax will take care of eliminating the entire colony in a matter of hours. Although the ants will begin to die quickly, it is advisable to leave the bait for a few days to ensure that the entire colony has been eliminated.
This homemade trick is a natural, safe and effective way to eliminate ant colonies in no time. With just a few easy-to-find ingredients, you can get rid of pesky ants in your home without the need for dangerous chemicals. Put it to use and enjoy an ant-free home!
