Ingredients:
- 1 cup of water
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 2 tbsp borax (available in the supermarket)
- cotton balls
Directions:
- Mix together the water, sugar and borax. Soak up the cotton ball with the mixture and place it right on the trail where the ants are traveling.
- As I said, the problem will get worse before it gets better. As you can see in the picture, there will be a feeding frenzy. After it gets worse, the ants will practically disappear and there will just be a few dead ones near the cotton ball. The rest of the ants will have gone to their grave elsewhere.
