Homemade Ant Trap
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon Borax
You can kill ants with this homemade ant trap by mixing sugar, water, and borax together. This will attract the ants and drown them when they consume it. To make this ant trap, mix 1 cup sugar with ½ cup water and stir in 1 tablespoon of borax until it dissolves completely.
Pour this mixture into plastic soda bottles with holes poked into the caps or other small containers with openings at least ¼-inch wide (if you don’t have any plastic bottles on hand, try filling empty tuna cans).
Place these bottles around your home where you’ve seen ants congregating (under sinks or behind appliances).
