Banana peels might be your greatest buddy if you’re searching for a natural, chemical-free, and efficient way to eradicate ants from your garden. In addition to being environmentally friendly, this technique has an extra advantage for your plants. Here, I go over how to make it step-by-step and the reasons it works so well.
Materials Needed:
- Ripe banana peels
- 10 grams of boric acid (available at pharmacies or chemical stores)
- Half a liter of hot water
- Large container
- Scissors or knife
How to Make the Natural Ant Repellent Step-by-Step
1. Gather the appropriate banana peels.
Ants are more attracted to the aroma of ripe bananas with dark stains. Save the peels for the foundation of your treatment and enjoy the fruit.
2. Get the boric acid solution ready.
Combine 10 grams of boric acid and half a liter of boiling water in a container. Give it a good stir until the acid dissolves entirely. Because boric acid functions as a natural pesticide that is benign for the environment yet toxic to ants, this solution is essential to the treatment’s success.
3. Let the peels soak in the mixture.
Make sure the banana peels are fully submerged in the solution by placing them inside the container. To ensure that they absorb the mixture uniformly, let them sit for at least four hours.
4. Slice the shells into little bits.
After soaking, remove the shells and use a knife or scissors to chop them into little pieces. The ants will find it simpler to carry the fragments back to the nest as a result.
5. Disperse the shell fragments throughout the garden.
