  • 3 cups warm water

Preparation

Step 1

Mix the sugar and boric acid well. Add the warm water slowly, mixing all the while so it won't be too lumpy.

Store in a clearly labeled jar until ready to use.

When ready to use, put cotton into the top of a jar lid to fill it and then saturate the cotton to the top.

Place it in the location where it is needed.

Note: This solution will keep for a long while. A good technique is to drip a drop or two over the edge of the lid to rest on the counter so the ants will find the solution sooner. It sometimes takes a little while for them to find it, but they will. When they do, do not disturb them as they drink. They will hang over the edge of the lid and drink for a while and then take it back to the nest killing the colony.
