In this video we demonstrate a natural remedy for getting rid of ants in the kitchen. This was done WITHOUT pesticides and was very simple. We will show the ants in our kitchen and the natural items we used to get rid of them. If you have children or pets you know how dangerous pesticides can be to them. They don't know the danger of these chemicals. The items we used are safe to eat and included in a lot of recipes. So if you need to exterminate ants, this is a safe way to get rid of them.

I made 2 different piles for the ants. One was the baking soda and powdered sugar, the other was almond flour and baking soda. Apparently, I had the protein-seeking kind of ants as they devoured the almond flour mixture and I kept having to give them more! It’s been out for almost two days and they have slowed dramatically. There are even some dying right on top of the mixture, probably after already making a trip or two and ingesting it while carrying it. Thank you so much for this information…you have saved my kitchen and given me a new inexpensive solution for years to come! 😊

Can I say just that I've tried every other thing from brand name ant baits to making sugar and borax mixes. They worked with either no or little success. I found this video in desperation because I was losing the war badly. I put a pile of baking soda and sugar on my counter three days ago because of this video. I have not seen an ant since. Thank you, general, for helping me win the war.

1. You can make powdered sugar from regular granulated sugar simply by putting the sugar in blender and hit pulse till it becomes powdered… blending breaks up the granules 2. You should use powdered because Anys can separate the granules from the baking soda. Then you’re just feeding the ants not killing the by digesting the baking soda.

Baking soda and Jiffy cornbread w/ honey works on mice and rats too . I use a Folders coffee can ( plastic ) flip it upside-down using the lid as a dish for the Baking soda mix . ( equal parts ) Make a hole so they can get in . I put these around my house especially in September. It kills them but wont hurt other animals that will eat them . I haven't had mice in my house for over 5 year's. 😊 THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIP !! ❤

Thank you!! I noticed ants on my patio deck 3 days ago so threw out some baking soda. Well, I think I pushed them in because I had a lot inside my bedroom where the sliding door was. Thank you for telling me it's about a week. I just did the mixture last night (used regular sugar as well. All I had) and saw a lot just now and panicked. Will just keep refreshing as there's quite a few dead ones in the current mixture.

@gord2358 Год назад

This worked excellent for me. Just like you said, I mixed equal parts Baking Soda and White Sugar, put it in an old salt shaker, then just sprinkled it where the ants were. In the morning they were gone. A few came back so I sprinkled some more and they were soon gone too. Some sites recommend mixing with water and spraying but it's much easier the way I did it. Some sites recommend Borax but I wouldn't have a purpose for it after the ants were gone so I just chose the easiest method.

@DIYwithWayne Год назад

Thank you for the kind comment and for visiting, have a great day.

@lvncsr6166 Год назад

when you say "Equal Parts" exactly how much did you use? And the salt shaker is a great idea:)

@DIYwithWayne Год назад

I maybe used a teaspoon but it depends on how much you need.

@Versacici Год назад

did you use powdered sugar or regular white sugar?

@bucketlisttime Год назад

@@Versacici We used white regular sugar but the powered sugar would be better. However, both will work.

@the7observer Год назад

I think mixing with some water would be more effective (and a few drops of solid food). The issue is that borax can be toxic to pets, so the baking soda can be a good alternative if you have pets and don't want to risk your pets accidentaly ingesting the borax

Yeah, the ants will pick the granules out and run off with them leaving the baking soda. Takes longer to work. You can put regular granulated sugar in the food processor or blender to grind it down to powder. Like you said, most RU-vid videos use Borax, powdered sugar and if desperately bad, add a little honey.

Hi Wayne, have quite an ant problem in my kitchen. Last year I was having to apply boric acid 3 times a day, for a month, and I finally got rid of them. There back now that it’s warming up. Mine are not attracted to sugar, but rather protein, like butter, but they also ate my playtex gloves, and the putty that holds the sink in place. What food can I bait them with to get them to walk through the baking soda? They just walk around it, which is why I have to keep applying the powder, and am having so much trouble getting rid of them.

@DIYwithWayne Год назад

If they will eat the butter, you might try mixing the baking soda into the butter. They need to eat some of the baking soda for this method to work. You surely have a different kind on ant than we have in NC. Good luck and thank you for visiting. Have a great day.

Mix the baking soda with a protein containing food that they would be drawn to. Place this where you are seeing the ants over several days. It will take a few days before you see less ants. Good luck with your project and have a great day.

How much do you put on it?

@DIYwithWayne Год назад

We used equal parts sugar and baking soda, but it doesn't have to be any exact amount. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

Can I put this solution inside of the chimney to address ants there?

@DIYwithWayne 11 месяцев назад

I would think that should work. We've never used it in that way.

So what does this do? Poison them?

@DIYwithWayne 3 года назад

The baking soda kills ants by drying out their bodies and disrupting their natural chemistry. Thanks for the question, have a great day.

Wayne there’s a lot of sick people who say they’re torturing ants by burning them Thankyou for being normal

I have been using Terro - the liquid ant baits thing, but now it seems as they are killed for now, then a month later, then they come back from the same location, which makes me wonder if the braits actually kill the queens (I saw 3 big ants came out)...when you see so many ants outside, do you think if you kill them, leave the baits out again, then kill them again, eventually they won't go inside to feed the queens? Can that work?

You have a very good question, but I don't have an answer. If you try it and it works, please let us know. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
