How can I safely get rid of ants (not sugar ants) in my microwave?
Yesterday ants started invading my microwave. I need a safe method for cleaning the microwave and getting rid of the ants before they invade the kitchen.
Use Borax and sugar to lay trails where you have seen the ants inside. Also sprinkle the borax and sugar along the wall-floor seams, on windowsills, and under the counters. The sugar will entice the ants and the borax will kill the ants, including in the ant hill. Keep away from pets. ❤️
Hi Naga, You could make a solution of half water and half vinegar. Pour it in to a spritz bottle and spray the ants. Repeat if necessary. I have also read that Jiffy corn bread mix will kill the ants. I hope you find this info helpful. Best of luck to you.
I use Borax and confectioners sugar. Then I fill any small container, pickle jar lid or whatever, place in areas you see ants. I put in pantry, cabinets, etc. because we have pets. We located an area under our deck where ants seemed to be and placed a small plant saucer there. No more ants.
Get some jar tops and put some cornmeal in there and place them around where you see any ants coming in. It takes a while for this to work, but slowly you will see them dissapear. Also check for small holes under your sink, in your cabinets anywhere they might enter and caulk them up.
Thank you! I am going to try these tips.
get any plant in the peppermint family = plant outside and put some around your baseboards.
Diotamacious earth. can be purchased at Walmrt. Read about it on line.
I use packaged cornbread mix that says it is sweetened and put it where they are. They will take it to the mound, everyone will eat it and die, they can't digest the cornmeal, but will take it because it is sweetened. Little goes a long way.
I read this from : Itsmemic
Medicated powder from the Dollar Tree. It has eucalyptus in it...menthol...I puff it around my homes foundation..and inside under my birdcages in the cracks under moldings. Work immediately and they never come back. I do this at the first sign of ants..in one day..GONE. The powder is in a very large container and lasts quite awhile too !! And smells great !
Not toxic to my birds OR dog
