1. Sugar and Borax Trap
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon borax
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- Cotton balls or small pieces of cardboard
Instructions
- Mix the sugar, borax, and warm water until dissolved.
- Soak cotton balls in the mixture.
- Place them near ant trails, behind appliances, or on your balcony where ants are active.
- Replace the bait every few days until ant activity disappears.
Why it works: The slow-acting bait allows worker ants to transport it back to the nest, helping reduce the colony over time.
Safety Note: Keep borax-based baits away from children and pets, and avoid placing them where food is prepared.
