This is interesting.

 

I will try this formula for ants.

 

My experiment w/ aspartame & apple juice didn't work very well. It's also

possible that I didn't have the right ratio. Another possibility is that

these

type of ants didn't respond to that mixture. Oh well, it's off to the store

again to pick up some boric acid. I'll keep you posted.

We just poured the asparame directly on the mound and

trails. No mixing with anything.

I tried that first, didn't work.

 

Different species of ants require different strategies, or so I'm

told.

 

I did pick up a product from Victor, " Poison Free ant & roach killer " .

They use natural plant extract, which produces neuro-toxic results

for the aforementioned pests. I sprayed liberally, killed the ants.

Very few have come back, and best of all, it didn't make me sick. I

picked this up at my local Do-It handyman center.

 

Very best,

Melissa

I find the boric acid working fine for roaches, but

for ants I mix borax with syrup... It seems to work

very well.

Hi Melissa,

 

I have found a great solution with a non-toxic cleaning product called

Solumel that also kills ants.

 

It has worked great for us. No bad smell. Just spray on once or twice

and the ants are gone.

 

Good Luck

My mother-in-law used Boric Acid and sugar mixed. She

put it in a mayo lid and way back under her fridge

where the babies could get to it. She lived near

orchards and vinyards where the field roaches would

come in as it got cold. Swears it works.
