I was totally out of the loop before! After trying countless sprays and traps with no lasting results, my aunt shared a simple method that actually worked: a borax and sugar solution. It targets the entire ant colony, not just the ones you see.
What to Do
Mix 1 part borax with 3 parts sugar.
Add a bit of water to make a syrupy mix.
Soak cotton balls or use pieces of cardboard to hold the bait.
Place the bait near ant trails.
Why It Works
Why It Works
Ants are attracted to the sweet solution and carry it back to their nest. They share it with the queen and other ants, which leads to the collapse of the entire colony.
Results
Within minutes, ants start dying off — and within a few days, the whole colony is gone.
Bonus Tip
It’s cheap, easy, and safe when used correctly.
Also, keeping your home clean and sealed helps prevent ants from returning.
