How To Repel Ants So They Don’t Come Back
http://dld123.com/q&a/index.php?cid=28We own a small business with office and shop employees. We had ants in the office, lounge areas, restrooms, lunchrooms, etc. Very disturbing to the ladies in the office trying to do their work. My wife is chemical sensitive and we couldn’t even use the baits that you find in the grocery store. Found the following recipe in “Common Sense Pest Control” and modified it slightly. It works overnight and the ants don’t come back.
Mix in a small jar. I use a baby food jar and it keeps in the refrigerator: 1/4 cup of sugar, 3/4 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of borax. Stir and let it sit until it is all dissolved. Soak a piece of homemade bread crust about 1″ square in the liquid until it is saturated. Place the dripping bread crust in the path of where the ants are coming in. In a few minutes the crust is completely covered by ants and you may need to place a couple more pieces in the area to satisfy the amount of ants you have. The next day they are gone and don’t come back.
