Ants Be Gone (not Edible) Recipe

How to make it

---

• Mix the sugar and boric acid well.
• Add the warm water slowly, mixing all the while so it won't be too lumpy.
• Store in a jar until ready to use.
• When ready to use, put cotton into the top of a jar lid to fill it and then saturate the cotton to the top.
• Place it in the location where it is needed.
• Note: This solution will keep for a long while. A good technique is to drip a drop or two over the edge of the lid to rest on the counter so the ants will find the solution sooner.
• It sometimes takes a little while for them to find it, but find it they will. When they do, do not disturb them as they drink.
• They will hang over the edge of the lid and drink for a while and then take it back to the nest killing the colony.
• Almost overnight they will be gone.

• NOTES From Others:
• *Lime works put around your house, Comet also.
• *Borax and sugar 50/50 , or borax and salt also 50/50. Works great!
• *I have used this and it works wonders! We used Borax laundry soap. Please make sure you have it out of reach of your pets though.
• *I already use this and even the cockroaches and palmetto bugs die when then get into this stuff.
• *borax and molasses.... and borax and corn syrup, work as well
• *Someone told me once, lemon juice. Can you imagine? Your first thought is, no it's sticky and will draw ants. But lo and behold it works. Something about the acid. I just took a regular lemon and squeezed the juice along the trail of ants.
• *Try it with jelly and the acid
• *Bugs out of garden- rim the garden with marigold flowers.
• *I always feel bad killing the poor little things but I suppose if they ignore the "do not enter" sign, that's what they get.
