Ingredients
1cupsugar
1tbspBorax
1/2cupwater
Instructions
Combine the sugar, water, and Borax in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for three minutes. Let it cool completely. It will thicken as it cools.
Using a small funnel, transfer it to two small spray bottles. You can use glass or plastic bottles – whatever you prefer!
Before you put ant killer down, you need to clean the ant area to remove the trail left by the ants.
Place the cooled ant killer into short jar lids – so that the ants can crawl over the side. Then place the lid where you know the ants are.
