DIY Borax Ant Killer (No More Ants!)

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Mix together approximately 1/4 cup honey with about 2 Tablespoons of borax. Stir to combine. You want to create a thick paste, so add more borax or honey as needed.

Step 2

Take about a teaspoon of the mixture and place it onto an index card or a piece of cardstock. Set the card out where you typically see ants.

Step 3

Depending on how bad the ants are in your home, you may need to keep replacing the cards, as needed, until the ants are no longer showing up. I like to keep the cards out for a few days after, just in case there are a few stragglers.
