Ant Traps

Belmont Resident · 06-02-2012, 05:12 AM

Ok we have seen maybe 8 or 10 tinny ants on the counter at one time.
My wife puts this stuff down just like I said on wax paper and within a short period she said there were over 100 ants streaming out of the woodwork devouring the liquid.
She said there were so many that she had to put more drops down.
I got home around 7 and there are still about 20 ants visible on the counter and the wall heading towards the range vent area.
This morning not a live ant to be seen, thanks for the advice on this product.
My wife has been spraying outside and inside all along the foundation for years and it has never worked like this stuff does.

Don't be afraid to put a couple outside the house undercover (where the rain won't wash it away). You won't see any ants all summer!! I would also leave it on your counter for a couple more days to make sure you got them all!

Someone mentioned this last year here.

5LB of Borax
5LB of sugar

Mix evenly. Then spread everywhere. For outside anyway.
