Homemade Ant Killer with borax

I had an infestation of little ants by my kitchen sink and was desperate! This recipe literally made the ants disappear within 24 hours. Not one seen after I set the bait!! Also, try our maple syrup version or fire ant killer!

When should I put down ant killer?

You can put the borax mixture down any time of day but I would recommend just before bed. Ants are active all day as well though. 

How to make an ant killer?

You will just need three ingredients from your kitchen! 

Are ant killers safe for pets?

No! Please keep away from all pets (dogs, cats, etc.) as borax is toxic.
