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.
Terro liquid ant bait traps. I use one under my kitchen sink and one in my pantry the first time I see an ant. In a day or two no more ants! Just dont put them where the pets can get to them. We have dogs and cats.
Cinnamon will keep them from coming in. You can take the cover off and sprinkle some inside
White vinegar spray will not hurt pets and it will kill the ants; however, I would not spray into electrical outlets. I have used the ant traps in my car and under cabinets. I have all kinds of pets and it is safe to spray vinegar on counter tops.
Find out where they are entering your house. Mix 1 part sugar with 1 part Borax in anything small (I used some tiny dollar store plastic food storage containers that I punched holes in the sides so I could put a top on) and in a day the ants were dead.
Wipe your counters daily, or whenever you see an ant, with white vinegar. This will destroy the chemical trail ants leave for each other. After a while, no more ants!
Borax works wonders under carpets.... right beneath windows, as well as, along thresholds of doors. If you have any animals,be careful with any products you put on the floor that a family pet may have access to, because lots of them can harm animals. I have put down a line of borax that was parallel to the window....directly under the carpet... by lifting it up from the tack strips and then tacking it back down. It worked beautifully at keeping the ants at bay. In fact,I have never had ants come through that window again.
