1 Homemade Simple Sugar Ant Trap

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup very Hot Water

  • 2 Tbsp. Borax

  • 2 Tbsp. Sugar

  • 4 or 5 Cotton Balls

  • A small jar, recycled plastic container, or anything that you can close, but are able to add holes to the top.

Guidance

Add holes into the top of your container using a screwdriver, nail and hammer, or sharp tool. Pour hot water into the container.

Add borax & sugar and stir until dissolved, then add in the cotton balls (These allow the ants to get at the liquid borax bait without drowning, which is good because you want them to bring the borax poisoned sugar back to their main nest).

Close the lid of your container tightly and place it near where you see the most ants.
