Homemade Ant Traps
I used this thrifty recipe instead of purchasing expensive ant baits, and it really works well because the sugar draws the ants in. It only takes a couple of days to see results, and it is disposable.
You will need:
- Empty plastic containers with lids (sour cream/cottage cheese container size works best)
- Screwdriver
- Spoon
- 20 Mule team borax
- Granulated sugar
- Peanut butter
- Water
Poke 5 holes evenly spaced around the container about one inch from the top using the screwdriver.
Mix 1 cup Borax with 3 cups of sugar (good for about 6 traps). Fill each container halfway. Add water to make it soupy. Add a spoonful of peanut butter, stir. Put lid on.
Set traps. Check back in a few days and you should see results.

Once you try the above variations, be sure to come back and give a "thumbs up" to the one that worked the best for you. Do you have a better variation?
