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.
Hi Kd, the very best remedy I have found is Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix. Just sprinkle it right from the box in the areas where you see the ants. The ants take the food back to the hill and the queen also partakes of it and soon your ant problem is GONE. I couldn't believe it until I tried it. It WORKS! If it rains, you may need to repeat or in a few months it may need to be redone.
Hi Kd,
A similar option - at least in the way it works - is to mix confectioner's sugar with borax and use it in the same way as the corn muffin mix. However, be aware that borax is not kid or pets safe. Wishing you the best.
Here is a very simple solution but believe me it WORKS, it kills the queen and colony that is invading https://www.hometalk.com/diy/outdoor/pest-repeller/ants-safe-and-effective-cure-36651130
