Easy Ways To Get Rid Of Ants In The House

A Simple DIY Solution for Ants and Other Pests

Dealing with ants and other pests inside your home can be incredibly frustrating. These pesky bugs seem to multiply overnight, and professional exterminators are expensive and often use harsh, dangerous chemicals. Fortunately, there’s a cheap, simple, DIY solution that can help.

What You’ll Need

  • 32 oz cup of warm water
  • 1/8 cup of Borax
  • 1/4 cup of sugar

Directions

  1. Mix the warm water, Borax, and sugar together.
  2. Soak cotton balls in the mixture.
  3. Place the soaked cotton balls around areas where you’ve noticed ants or other pests.

The ants will be attracted to the mixture and will take it back to their nest, eventually killing the entire colony.

Safety Tip

Ensure the cotton balls are placed out of reach of children and pets.

This is the easiest, quickest method for ridding your home of ants. Try it yourself and share this tip with friends who are facing a similar problem!
