Onemore52 Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 Anyone know of a product that gets rid of ants? I bought some product from Lazada called "Greenleaf powder Ant killing bait" did not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy79 Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 Use Borax powder mixed 50/50 with sugar. I place some in saucers around the home and they love the stuff, they carry it home to feed the queen and rest of the colony and within a few days all will die out. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy 500g Borax online very cheap, it'll probably work out at 100th the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best if mixed into a solution and not just mixed dry. I drink about 3/4 of a small bottle of coke then let it go flat, add a little more sugar (not that it really needs it) and the Borax. Shake well and place a few drops along the ant trails. Terro ant baits work well and are hassle free. I just couldn’t find any in Angeles……no stock (of course blamed on covid, lol).

We have a big problem with ants, tried borax and sugar 50'50 mix, 60 '40 mix but our ants have got use to the sugar and walk past the mixture. They climb a fruit tree and eat aphids, good thing in a way but they are all over the flipping house. I'm going to try fat next time mixed with borax, sometimes the queen wants protein. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jollygoodfellow Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 I just use surface spray. Works for awhile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted June 1, 2022 Posted June 1, 2022 We use Baygon. It's effective but kinda expensive and only works where it's sprayed. It kills most insects though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyJack Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 This is what you want. It's what the pros use and it is safe to use inside and out. I was amazed how fast my problem went away.
