This is a recipe for getting rid of those pesky ants that come every spring and summer. Mix up the solution, pack cotton balls in a jar cover, put the solution on and they will be gone.
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons boric acid
3 cups warm water
Directions:
1. Mix the sugar and boric acid well.
2. Add the warm water slowly, mixing all the while so it won't be too lumpy.
3. Store in a jar until ready to use.
4. When ready to use, put cotton into the top of a jar lid to fill it and then saturate the cotton to the top.
5. Place it in the location where it is needed.
I have used this recipe for many years with great success but this year I didn't have any boric acid so I used Borax instead. Low and behold it worked just as well. Who woulda thunk it.
