Ant Killer

To make your own, you need borax, sugar, and water. That’s it.

Combine 1 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of Borax, and ½ cup of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil for three minutes. Let it cool completely. It will thicken as it cools.

Before you put this mixture down, you need to clean the ant area with something. I used white vinegar because I use it to clean my entire house. It’s safe – it’s effective.

You need to clean it because ant’s leave a trail.

Take this cooled mixture and put it into jar lids – short so that the ants can crawl over the side. It also needs to be in a lid so it’s portable. Place the lid where you know the ants are. They will eat the stuff, take it back to the queen and they’ll die. It won’t be instantly, it might take a day or two. This isn’t a microwaved ant killing method.

Borax is NOT child or pet friendly. The FDA says Borax is safe., unless ingested in LARGE amounts. So, please wash your pan with hot water and soap – and don’t serve Borax for dinner. .http://www.stacymakescents.com/homemade-ant-bait
