We have had a terrible ant problem since it got warm. I read about this online & we decided to try it. Borax is an ingredient in commercial ant bait, like Terro. But why got to the store, use fuel to get there, spend more money to buy the bait & make more waste to throw away?! The only waste here is the cotton ball or pad...and that is biodegradable!
Waited to see if it would work...it did!!!
1/2 C hot water
1/4 C white sugar
1 T Borax
Cotton balls or pads
(Small lids)
Mix until thoroughly dissolved.
Plop in several cotton balls, or pads...fish them out with your fingers or a fork/spoon.
Place in lid, just to keep sticky solution up off the floor.
Leave them in the midst of your favorite ants' trails!
We just did this & I am so pleased it worked!!
