Tip: Borax and sugar solution
My aunt’s trick is simple but effective. She uses borax, readily available in the home, combined with sugar to create a powerful yet safe ant repellent. When ingested, the borax disrupts the ants’ digestive systems, leading to their death. The sugar acts as a bait, attracting the ants to the borax.
What you’ll need:
Borax: Available in the laundry aisle of most supermarkets.
Granulated sugar: Regular granulated sugar works well.
Water: For dissolving the mixture.
Cotton balls or small pieces of cardboard: For placing the bait.
Small container: For the mixture.
