I followed Jag's instructions as stated in the video. I used a small saucer rather than a water bottle. It took about 24 hours for the ants to discover the Sugar/Borax solution. It started with one ant sniffing away at the solution. Eventually, they all showed and had a big ant party. Now, they are dead as door nails. Good Video! Good Solution!

@justsayin5609 Год назад

FYI Borax is a poison. That is why it should always be in a closed container!

Borax will not kill you or hurt you.

@jJaqStone 3 года назад

Ants look for different types of food at different times of the year. Sometimes it's sugar, sometimes protein, sometimes grain. You can mix borax with corn meal & sugar to get both the grain & the sugar in one treatment. For protein, mix a very small amount of peanut butter with borax, fill bottle caps with it, & place something over them to make sure birds cannot get to it.

@l.e.6263 Год назад

Ants will detect soap in Borax & will ultimately reject bait. I’ve tried entire market in every form, & ants ignored even free clean foods. Trial & error, but Borax or any RU-vid home made “ant killer” in my USA valley never worked. 1 neighbor smuggled cyanide from his home country for rats , who chose to die in my garden causing fire ants invasion from their nest 2 homes away. I had to kill fire ants with commercial bait after removing dead rats & got bit by angry fire ants.

@aquacat8 Год назад

Thank you. Woke up to lots of small ants on my kitchen counter, and I just made this bait (both dry bait & liquid bait) and placed it on the counter. Had a similar problem last year, and the ants were attracted to some cough drops I had in a cabinet. I would have never thought ants would go for cough drops, but they do! Update: The ants appear to be ignoring the water bottles, so I put honey in a bottle cap & mixed a small amount of borax into it, and the ants are going nuts for it right now, while ignoring the sugar/borax mixtures in the water bottles.

@billweirdo9657 11 месяцев назад

If they ignore the bait you have 2 things that could be happening. 1 they could be searching for protein instead of sugar. Or more likely #2 too much borax is in the mixture. Honey mixtures work great you can make a sticky paste out of it and squirt it directly on a few surfaces. When you notice ants aren't coming anymore clean the surfaces and coat with a mixture of cinnamon oil and mint oil heavily diluted in water. It will have a repelling effect along with erasing any sugary scent residue.

@aquacat8 11 месяцев назад

@@billweirdo9657 Thank you for the info. I believe these ants were only interested in sugar (they ignored the peanut butter bait). It took over a week experimenting with different ratios of honey-borax, and the ants are finally gone.

1. If you use a bottle on its side, place small holes in the bottle for the ants to get in (use a sharp hole poking tool) but not large anough for a bee to get in. 2. In it to the ground using a long U shaped wire (like that of a clothing hanger) around the middle of the bottle, so it doesn't blow away.

I experimented with the wet/dry bait issue and made a sticky honey borax mix and also a bottle with the liquid mix. They liked both but by morning the more solid mix is definitely a favourite and the ant 'trainline' across the wall from the entry crack is almost down to about 20 ants moving

@showlowpoet9012 Год назад

Awesome info and it worked! I just mixed up the liquid and the dry. The large black ants went nuts and quickly entered their tomb of death on the dry mix. I think I even saw an ant carry a large granule into the nest hole. There were quite a few ants in the dry mix container in less than a minute or 2! Not much interest in the liquid mix so far. I placed them right next to the hole and placed a cardboard box over the area with a brick holding the box down and the top of the box open for viewing and to let the sunlight in. This way my little dog will not get to the area and the wind will not blow away the bottles! Thanks Jag, Your the Man! Love your gardening videos. Very informative and to the point. You have a great sense of humor too!

@foxyshazaam3310 3 года назад

Recipe **you're welcome** 😁 (Liquid solution) Add to bottle: 1 tbsp borax 4 tbsp sugar (need to have AT LEAST 4x sugar to borax ratio so that it masks the borax taste) Add 1 quarter cup of water Close the bottle, shake it and be sure to mix really well (Dry solution- to kill the queen/larva) Add to bottle: 1 tbsp borax 4 tbsp sugar A couple of drops of water and shake until you have it mixed (even after adding water, compound should still be on drier side) • Cut a notch in bottle for the opening for the ants to get inside both bottles Place both bottles right by source of ants *if you have kids/dogs use glass Mason jar instead and poke holes in top of bottle for safety

Works for sweet ants but not grease ants (like the dreaded "Thief Ant or Grease Ant". For this you need another type of poison such as Advion.

@gordthor5351 3 года назад

"How to kill ants"? is asking the wrong question. "How to get rid of ants", is the question to ask. I know this method works best for sugar ants, because I have tried everything. Sure, boric acid and other poisons with eventually work, but who wants to fight ants for 3-4 weeks to only have them come back next year. Not to mention using sweet tasting poison attracts thousands of ants. All you have to do is sprinkle comet on a couple ants and make sure they make a B-line running back to the nest. Ants are tenacious and determined creatures (I admire those trait in them), so even after coated them in comet they will want to continue on the scent trail leading to food. I used a straw to push them back and rub them in the comet pile. It took a couple times, but they reached their breaking point and made a B-line home. The next day I only saw a couple stragglers and since then not a single ant in my house in over 3 years. I have been watching and analyzing the behavior of sugar ants for over a decade when they came into my home the same time every year. I have seen them make large (1/2" high with sand, grass, sticks) barricades around poison I laid out, and they did it overnight. Ants definitely communicate and have a strong instinct to protect the colony from danger. I suspect that the comet drenched ants spread toxic powered on the scent trail and throughout the nest and that was enough to trigger the "barricade instinct", so the entry point was blocked off to my house. Also, maybe the comet covered ants communicated the torment they went through. If I never saw the engineering marvel (the barricade) these tiny little ants built overnight, I might not give them so much credit for their ability to communicate. Ants definitely communicate, so don't waste time trying to kill them. Just torment a few with comet and let them tell their story to the colony. Then they won't want to see you anymore than you want to see them in your home. I actually like ants, but not in my home.

@TheOJDrinker Год назад

Guess what, "learnt" is almost never the proper form of the word to use. When it is, it's generally the last word in the sentence. However, "learned" is ALWAYS acceptible, 100% of the time, even in the 0.0001% of cases where "learnt" is even correct. So just use "learned" instead. (Also applies to smiliar words like spelt.) There, now you've learned another thing.

I don't understand. If it is only the dry solution that kills the queen and the nest, why bother with the liquid solution?

@davesterchele2679 6 лет назад

Do you have a problem with aphids as well? Might be too much nitrogen in the soil?

@jalpa9642 3 года назад

I have a Problem with Aphids, at least that's what the Tree Nursery guy said. I got these tiny Piss Ants, most call em Sugar Ants, 8 rows wide..... 4 wide going to the Elm Tree, 4 wide doing back from Elm tree to their Colony. I'm in an RV Park, Can't cut the tree down it's not mine, yet on my site. Spent over $20.00 on Ant Killer last Summer, nothing worked....! =)

@@jalpa9642 Yes, the ants farm the aphids, they carry them up into shrubs, trees, especially anything that flowers, and the aphids suck the life out of the things, and poop this stuff that ants love.. So, you can either get a systemic liquid or dry fertilizer that has the systemic in it, mix that with water, pour under the plant, etc., so it absorbs it and within a few weeks, the plant absorbed the systemic, it goes out to the leaves, the aphids suck the juice out of the leaves and die.. The ants figure this out and leave but will then go up anything close by to farm their aphids.. They want the aphids to eat the most tender new leaves, flowers, so they can be happy and give the ants their poop, so the ants can feed their people and the queen.. What will work best is to do Both these things at once.. Make the borax/boric acid powder and sugar solution for the ants, and the liquid or fertilizer with the systemic to kill things that eat the leaves, etc., and that should get the ants out... Killing the queen is the hardest.. And even if the queen dies, like bees, the ants are raising new queens to take over.. It is just part of nature... Everything has a predator, and then we have a balance.. When the pests become too big, the balance is gone.. What might work is to try to cultivate lizards, horned toads and frogs.. These guys love to eat all the ants they can find, and all the other little crawling things in the ground... They are the predators that are missing from everywhere, I have found.. Good luck with this !! Fran Danco

Thanks. Every spring as of recent it is a war with ants and flying ants in the home.

@tinaleanne8230 Год назад

Most 'flying ants' in the home are termites. Better get an inspection.

@Nakelp86 3 года назад

Seams like my ants are indifferent to this borax recipe. tried different ratios 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 and so on Gave them even some honey and fruit and they just keep marching right by it. May have to try real chemistry from the store.

@frandanco6289 3 года назад

If the ants can detect the borax they will leave it be.. You always need to make the sweetner way higher than the borax to mask the borax.. At some part of the year, ants only want protein and not sweets.. They also can detect human smell, etc., and are sometimes conditioned to know that humans = kills us... So you need to be careful how you do this.. And try to not disturb their long Lines.... Just put your bait close to the lines, not in between them.. They will become alarmed and may just move their line far away because they saw you break into their pattern..

@Nakelp86 3 года назад

@@frandanco6289 Thx, I had 3sp sugar 1sp borax put the bait close to their holes and some about 2 feet away. Not a single one wanted to try it , Oh yeah I added the spoon of honey and some fruit jam. NOTHING. I will try to crush some chicken and mix it with bit of borax

there's really no need to cut the plastic bottle if there's not much stuff in there, just leave the cap off...should work as well

How do i use this for carpenter ants in tree?

@twistedmindssweettea 2 года назад

Florida rains have caused tons of ants of various types to infiltrate my home, porch, yard, and car even! I pray this works!! Me & my toddler keep getting ate up. Also is the "any & roach" killer labeled borax bottles the same as this box of borax you got? Idk anything about this stuff sorry

@recharlaramakrishnamurthy8820 Год назад

Sir, Instead of borax shall we use boric powder?

@650tonyd 2 года назад

The liquid solution is just fine. You don't need to make a dry solution. The ants will regurgitate it and still feed it to the queen. I've used just a liquid many a times and it's wiped out whole hives

@jewelofwisdom8279 Год назад

I tried the liquid solution and to my horror I found a whole mess of ants near, about 2 ft, from the lid the solution was in that were alive…it would have been okay if this were not in my kitchen counter. I had been dealing with this issue for about two weeks but until I put this solution out I never saw so many ants only a couple here abs there. My concern was 1) the amount of LIVING ants 2) they weren’t around or inside the lid itself. Any insight would be very, very much appreciated.

I couldn't even find epsom salts in grocerie stores in Australia, where in the heck am i gonna find Borax? It will be easier to go out and catch a boa and some rax and make your own. But where to find raxes and are they nocturnal?

@danigoodall1087 4 года назад

I bought mine from Bunnings. Dirt cheap.

@annab5961 4 года назад

I bought mine off eBay .. you can get a smaller amount and don’t have to buy a whole kilo like you do at Bunnings

@MISTERPRESIDENTELECT 4 года назад

I was in Bunnings yesterday and I knew I forgot something. Thanks for your suggestions to you and everyone. Thing is, not all stores have things that appear on their site, especially in country where I spend most of my time.
