Home made ANT KILLER: 5 Simple Steps How To Make the Ant Killer

Introduction to How To Make Home made Ant Killer

Do you have an ant problem? Do you have ants crawling up your walls, crawling all over your plants, and building a nest in them? Are they living inside your barbecue? Are they finding cracks and holes in your walls and then making your house theirs? Have you called the exterminator, and they said it’s going to cost you a fortune? Well, don’t waste your money. All you have to do is go and spend about five dollars on some borax.

But what exactly is borax, and why is it so effective in dealing with ants?

You should be able to find borax quite easily in the laundry section of your local supermarket. Borax is the common name for sodium tetraborate: a naturally occurring substance produced by the repeated evaporation of seasonal lakes. 20 Mule Team® Borax is 100% natural, and 99.5% pure (there is about a half of 1% of naturally occurring trace minerals). Once removed from the ground it is washed, dried, and boxed for consumers. Borax, borates, and boron compounds are with us throughout our lives. Families use it to soak and wash diapers and other laundry.

Making the Home made Ant Killer

•  Boil water.
•  In a cup, add a couple of spoons of borax.
• Dissolve the borax completely by adding the boiled water.
• To attract ants, mix in some honey.

So, for starters, let’s boil some water. To make this homemade ant killer, grab your borax in a cup. Open the borax and add a couple of spoons of that. Next add the boiled water. The best thing about this borax is that it dissolves completely in boiling hot water. Now to attract the ants, we need some honey.

The ants cannot resist honey, so we’ll put a bit of that in, a good squirt, and then give that a mix. Now, you will need to give this some time to cool down before you start handling it. Just let it rest for a few minutes to let that heat evaporate out. And there it is, that’s how simple it is to make your own ant killer at home.

Placing the Home made Ant Killer

• Allow the solution to cool down before handling it.
• Pour or spray the solution on walls, plants, or any areas where ants are gathering.
• Use bottle caps, beer caps, or shells filled with the borax mixture as bait stations.
  • Place these bait stations around the garden or areas frequented by ants.

Once you’ve made the solution, you’re going to have to put it somewhere so the ants can get to it. You can either spray it on the walls, drip it down them, use bottle caps, beer caps, or even shells like this. Also use shells to put some around the garden.

So just grab the shell with the borax mix, fill that up, and then stick it in places where the ants are gathering. Put another one down where you feel the better one. Don’t worry; they’ll find it. You can even pour it on leaves on your plants, and you can just pour it down the wall as well – they’ll love it. Give it a few minutes, and the ants will be all over it.

How Borax Works as an Home made Ant Killer

• Borax has low toxicity for humans and animals but is effective against ants.
• When ants consume borax, it interferes with their digestive system and gradually kills them.
  • Worker ants consume the bait and bring it back to the nest to share with others.
  • This leads to killing both worker ants and eventually the queen.

Borax has low toxicity for people and animals, but ants – well, that’s another story. When ants consume the borax, it interferes with their digestive system and gradually kills them. This slow kill allows time for the worker ants to consume the bait, head back to the nest, and share it with the rest of the colony and queen, killing the ants and killing the queen. Hence, no more ants.

Safety Precautions

Keep the home made ant killer away from pets like dogs and cats to avoid making them sick.

It isn’t toxic to humans and animals, but just to be on the safe side, make sure you keep it away from where dogs, cats, butterflies, lizards, and everything can come and get at it because it might make them sick – just to be on the safe side.

Well, it’s a week later, and just look at the ant situation now. The walls are much clearer; there’s hardly any ants around. There are still a few stragglers wandering around, but it will take a few applications to completely get rid of them all. Anyway, there you go – a really quick, simple, easy, and cheap solution to get rid of ants in your house. Hope it works for you, and you can save a few dollars and we’ll see you next time. Bye.
