My Gma used honey and borax mixed together the ants eat the honey and the borax kills them. Put in pop or beer bottle tops & place them around the area where ants are seen. Don't put them where your pets can eat them. Depending on what kind of ants, sugar/ grease ants and or carpenter ants? If you have wet wood around your home find it and fix that problem, they love wet wood and oak trees can harbor big carpenter ants. Sugar/ grease ants are a serious pain to control but using bleach water on counters does help keep the counters food free.
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
What if you make a barrier around the house.
I did some research, since we know what works for one person doesn't always work for another. I found this site and it's pretty informative. I know some tips you may not be able to use but there are some good ones also that will hopefully help.
Those little buggers are relentless, aren't they?!? This is the most effective method and all-natural spray DIY that we use with ants. It's best indoors, but will also work outside with more frequent applications. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly
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.
I always use a product called Terro.
