Whenever I used to go camping in the summertime with my grandparents, there was always this bit of preparation involved in even getting the camper out of their backyard. Sure, they were very tidy people, but they must have had an anthill under where they would park their trailer.
So, what they would do is they would take about a week to get the camper in the condition where someone could live in it for a good couple of months. Which meant getting rid of any critters that might be lying in wait.
If you, like millions of others, start to see ants in your kitchen or other parts of your home, know this – you can get rid of them with one easy life hack. Not only that, but you can take this hack with you when you go picnicking. We all know that ants are attracted to sugar. They seem to have a special sugar magnet that draws the to a single crumb of the stuff. In this life hack, you’re going to use their craving for sugar against them – learn how below!
A great way to do this is to mix sugar with other products. For example, boron salt also known as Borax is a great solution for this. This chemical is found in high detergents. And if ants eat it, it proves deadly.
All you need to do to use boron salt to rid yourself of an ant problem is mix two tablespoons of boron salt with a half cup of table sugar. Then add enough water to make the mixture dissolve.
When you’ve made your anti-ant solution, place the container with the salt and sugar mixture somewhere that will temp the ants to dig in.
Once you’ve finished setting this DIY trap for the ants, make sure you clean up effectively. You don’t want children or pets accidentally enjoying some of the poison as well.
