How to kill carpenter ants with borax
ALL NATURAL ANT CONTROL using BORAX
Timecodes:
hi and welcome once again to Greg the
gardener does this look familiar
ants coming inside your house or
accumulating in massive groups outside
your doorways maybe there's just lines
and lines of them all over the place
they just seem to be everywhere and
every time you step outside you seem to
walk back inside covered in ants you've
called a pest controller but they're
going to charge you hundreds of dollars
to come out and spray them let me show
you a way to get rid of these household
pests that will take you about five
minutes and cost you about fifty cents
and all using the household stain
remover and disinfectant borax so what
we'll need for this recipe is some hot
water some borax some honey or sugar a
cup to mix it in and something to spray
it on I'm just recycling an old laundry
container firstly put on your kettle and
ball up some water now just got a
teaspoon here so I'm just going to add
six teaspoons of sugar then going to add
six to eight teaspoons of borax
and then I just add the boiling water
you want to get it all dissolved
otherwise you won't be able to spray it
through this nozzle
I must container here I'm also going to
add some honey why not now the reason I
add the sugar and honey is because the
ants won't just eat the borax they need
a reason to eat it but they love sugar
and they love honey so you need that to
attract the ants and the beauty about
this borax as well is that it dissolves
completely in water and as you can see
that is completely dissolved now it's
time to let this cool for a minute
before we add it into the spray pack ok
then once this is cooled you can pour it
into your container
put the lid back on
oops better wash off that sticky
spillage now all you have to do is spray
your borax mix on the entrails and the
ants will eat it up and die how does the
borax kill the ants
well I believe they digest it and it
builds up a gas inside them and they
explode but I don't really care how it
kills them as long as it does so
normally what I would do is just spray
that around here as much as you want
it's more over here
I mean these things are just everywhere
now in a position like this I would
normally spray on top here so it leaves
like a pool of the mix and the ads will
find that and will really just come and
drink it all up
I even sprayed on my plants as well I
mean they're just everywhere these ants
and they really are annoying as you can
see this is where I sprayed some earlier
and the ants are already all over
lapping it up now any ant that eats this
and digests it will die hopefully it
will take it back to their nest to feed
the other ants and it will kill those
ones as well here's where I sprayed some
before as well the ants really do just
love this stuff now for ants that are
inside the house you don't want to be
spraying this in here because they will
just attract more ads inside so find
where they're coming in and just spray
some on the outside this borax mix can
make animals pets sick so you don't want
them to start licking it so what I would
normally do is I've got this like beer
cap off a beer bottle I'll just fill
that up like that make a reservoir of
the borax mix and say put a pot right in
front of it and maybe a rock or a brick
on top of it to stop any animals getting
to it but the ants will find that and
they will go berserk for it
well I hope that borax honey and sugar
tip was helpful do give it a try because
it really does work and will save you
many many dollars thanks for watching
and happy gardening he's Greg the
