Borax with sugar water or honey in an old foil pie plate with a cover and a few access holes. We had a big ant problem and laid a few of those around the yard and haven't seen ants anywhere for a year

I use 1 tablespoon of baking soda, half cup of flour and a tablespoon of vanilla Two eggs some butter and maybe some sugar It works well.

I like you being honest that it only works 50/50. That's the kind of success rate what I would expect. Also, I don't get the boiling water though. By the time the boiling water get into your tank, mixed with dish soap and sprayed and soaked underground, it would have cooled off significantly. I don't think it is hot enough to kill ants a feet down.

I purchased a wooden shed for my backyard and went out there today to build shelves inside. I noticed ants all along the bottom sill on one side. I’ll spray this solution along the outside, and then maybe add some spray foam to (hopefully) keep them out.

Gas...works ! If out in open after soaking for a while, then lit'er up ! Makes a nice whump de thumpie ! No kids were hurt..... 100% effective ! Also works great on yellow jacket nest in ground.....after dark !

Maybe hot water will help dissolve soap better

@MrKeithsplace 6 ай бұрын

Probably works great, but after that, use a pressure washer, clean out cracks, and use a sealer, asphalt/concrete appropriate.

@genghis_connie Ай бұрын

@ i had the alates (winged termites) which come from underground. So, I noticed last year and this year - I haven’t seen them. some black ants eat termites. i wonder if that’s why we both have them. Also, I haven’t treated them yet. i’m in the desert. A couple of weeks ago I went from nowhere to walk without stomping over 5 at once to ZERO. The temps dropped at night. That’s it. i know they’re still there, but maybe easier to kill. i want to get them metal-casted!

Saccharine or sucralose (aka splenda). Just sprinkle a packet around the anthill. I've had 100% sucess rate. Lot less effort and you can snag a packet at the coffee shop for free with your coffee.

Seems to me this video should be: add water, add soap, spray the ants ... *THEN REPAIR THE CRACK.* Especially since you did a 1-month time lapse. I like the "after a day/ after a week" idea, but after 4 weeks... the crack should have been repaired.
