Ants can be a nuisance in our homes, particularly during the warmer months. Fortunately, there are natural and effective ways to keep them away without using chemicals that might be damaging to our health or the environment.
These really successful home solutions are explained below.
Natural bait with boric acid and banana peel
An effective solution to combat ants is to prepare a homemade bait using common ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 100 ml of hot water
- 2 teaspoons of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of boric acid powder
- Banana peel cut into small pieces
Preparation:
- Dissolve the sugar and boric acid in the hot water, mixing well until a homogeneous solution is obtained.
- Add the banana peel pieces to the mixture and let it sit for 24 hours.
- Place the preparation in small containers or directly in areas where ant activity has been observed.
This bait attracts ants thanks to the sugar and banana, while the boric acid acts as a toxic agent. It’s important to place the bait out of reach of children and pets.
