Is this the most effective ant killer?

April 3, 2015 by Vikram Goyal

diy-ant-killer-header

I might just try it.

Whether it be summer or winter, the first thing you need to be prepared for… are ants. It’s a big problem where we live and I can tell you that we have tried everything known to mankind.

So it is with great interest that I actually read this whole recipe. The Borax and Sugar, Ant Killer is easy and safe. It is used in a liquid form, and therefore, easy to use.

It costs next to nothing to make and lasts a year. And as per the author of this recipe, they haven’t had the ant problem for a whole year!

I am going to give this a try. And so should you if you are having this problem. Get the recipe here.

    Hello,

    I live in the South and not only do we have sugar ants, we also have fire ants which bite, sting, and itch. One day, I accidentally discovered that they hate mint. Now, when they appear in my yard or garden, I put a sprig of mint in the mound and within a few days they disappear. Sometimes it will take root, but most times it doesn’t.

    Now I only need to see if this will work on carpenter ants.

    Is the borax poisonous to animals?

    Borax is used in schools to kill ants, because its not harmful to humans.

    I soaked a cotton ball with the Borax/sugar mixture and set the cotton ball on a sour cream lid then I set the lid in my cabinet where the ants were. Within a day or 2 the ants were gone. I heard it is not safe for animals.

    Do NOT use Borax if you have animals or small children that could come in contact with it.
