My mother in law lived in a trailer park and had these terrible. They were worried about their animals. I mixed boric acid with molasses, poured a little in the bottom of old soda cans so the pets couldn’t get to it. I placed them in the planters and tossed a few under the house. They were gone for years.

Years ago I put out two caps with boric acid and sugar and enough water to make a syrup. In about two days they were gone for years. Then about two weeks ago they came back so I did the syrup yesterday and today they have disappeared. Hope they stay gone for years again. 💖👏👏👏🤗

Thanks for this! Now I can get rid of both of my pet anteaters. They were getting expensive to maintain.

Also Apparently adult ants eat the liquid but baby ants eat solid, so if you put a piece of waffle or bread into the solution the ants will take chunks of it back to feed the young in the colony.

When you see ants trailing to the bait. Move the bait closer to their entry point. Go outside and see if you can find ant trails coming into the houses. Place the bait outside, seal up the entry points. The majority of time, ants are looking for moisture inside. And they are nesting in moisture areas outside. Solve the moisture sources and you can solve many pest problems.

That one super ant dragging the huge chunk of food and one of his buddies must work out a lot! LOL 🏋️💪🐜😄

I use Borax and icing sugar - doesn't leave a sticky mess that way and it seems to work.

I have never tried mixing the acid into something... Good idea

Thanks, I have used a sugar, borax and water mix in closed jam glasses with "doors" for the little rascals which also knocked their socks off and yes, they come back after a while and I'll try your solution to see which one they like more or which one works better.

I didn't have many ants this year, but they were always right near where I was sitting using my laptop. Occasionally one would suddenly appear on my screen and startle the hell out of me. I get the creepy crawlies around indoor insects. But there was never, ever a trail. Most of the time it was just one damn ant. If it had been in the kitchen at least that would have made sense. But no - it would be here crawling on the lampshade beside me or the sofa I'm sitting on or the coffee table in front of me - or in the bathroom on the wall. I found the colony outside and covered it liberally in borax, and the indoors was ant-free for several days, but it didn't last. Even the exterminators' treatment didn't completely eliminate them, which is VERY unusual. I have cats so would have to find a good way to set up a trap with liquid. I'm sort of concerned, though, that next year that sweeeet liquid might attract more of them. Any thoughts, anyone?

You are awesome! I live in a little old trailer in the forest beside a river and these mofos are hard to get rid of. This is a perfect mostly non toxic solution! 🙉🙈🙊

Not sure where I picked this up but I also used boric acid and sugar or a little syrup….. it does work great. I do like the apple juice idea. I will try that next time.

Thank you for posting this helpful video

Thank you for your great tips

Thanks for sharing this! Bought a pound of boric acid today... hopefully get rid of some wasps around here.

Get 20 Mule Team soap power it has Boric Acid. Mix sugar with equal parts. Any store has this soap.

Great content.

I have in my house ty for this

Put it in a soda can if you have pets around. Sugar in the soda attracts them also.
