We only discovered Terro Baits this year. Strong magic. Ants gone in half a day and no returns.
I checked. It is with Borax. Maybe I’ll mixed my own mixture, since I don’t seem to see ant bails with borax on sale here…
Certainly worth a try. Husband has, over time, tried several kinds of “home-did” borax combos, but your take may be the key. Do keep us advised. I.e., do bump up after your next ant combat.
I never had success with homemade…
So bad this year … every one of the homeowners on my street had to use an exterminator, the little F _ _ _ _ _ s even invaded my neighbors mailbox … I’d used a couple of hot shot ant baits over the last several months but finally conceded, the daily deluges have created an environment in which the ants thrive
Have anybody tried baking powder vs ants? Does it work?
They try to enter by the door from outside. I sprinkled around the door steps to create a seal. I read that it isn’t harmful to cats… Let’s hope.
I tried vinegar, you can kill them when spray on them, but doesn’t seem to deter them from entering.
The bail is partially working, I saw some dead bodies, along with some eggs under a big flower pot, but there are some living.
Looks like tomorrow, I will free myself to go to the garden center to get something more serious. Duh!
