HOMESTEAD HACK - SAFE ANT KILLER

[@discobear5752]

I use baking soda (without the sugar) to brush my teeth. Baking soda has a high pH which helps to neutralize the acids that bacteria are fond of creating.

[@planetruths]

Root from the licorice plant is a grade AAA toothbrush & toothpaste all in one.

[@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319]

Cool. My home made tooth paste is baking soda and spearmint oil.

[@discobear5752]

@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 I searched your channel for "toothpaste" and found several videos on homemade mouthwash, but nothing on toothpaste. What type of container do you store the toothpaste in?

@@planetruths Licorice root also makes a very attractive mulch. Search for "Right Dress Licorice Root Mulch."

Good to know! I plan to use this, for sure! Thank you! 👍

[@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319]

You're welcome!

I am using this for the ants in my house they are terrible this year where I live in the Pacific Northwest Oregon Thanks for a nice clear video 👏

[@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319]

Good luck!

[@amonamaria2000]

I use borax and white sugar.

[@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319]

That works well also -HOWEVER- I have to be cautious with the use of Borax as it is toxic to honey bees while the baking soda is actually beneficial for the honey bee.

Not all ants are attracted to sugar, there are also ones who dont like suger but like Proteins like Chicken etc ... of course the easy way to sell is leave a little meat out and a little Honey and which ever they go after is the type of ant you have to deal with, If it is protein just take old meat, Dried is good, in a food processor etc to make it fine as possible to mix with the baking soda or Boric acid.

[@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319]

Yup, thanks.

[@leroyaeschbacher6749]

FYI sugar doesn't work on protein or grease ants lol but if you add some peanut butter that has protein and grease because there are 3 types of ants sugar, protein and grease/oil and adding peanut butter to the sugar and baking soda. that covers all 3 types

[@theofficialcindywonderful]

Nice, I’ll try

[@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319]

Give it a go. Worked for me in the greenhouse.

[@texastreat8721]

Does this kill fire ants

[@gwenconant]

I use bed bug killer spray to kill fire ants. Works great.

[@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319]

Yes.

[@baldbirdy7821]

Sounds good, but I have honeybees. Are they attracted to this as well?

[@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319]

This is actually beneficial to a honey bee.

[@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319]

I don't recall a blind animal on my farm. You may have confused me with someone else. Sorry I cannot be of help at this time.

[@akuma-u2f]

Is that water? And can I use brown sugar?

[@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319]

Don't use water.

[@akuma-u2f]

@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 can I use brown sugar?

[@maggc2420]

I'm confused I thought u added water to make the paste?

[@dangeroustoman]

@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 what liquid are you using?

[@thebower8027]

This stuff WORKS! Although I had used regular sugar and did not make a slurry. I just sprinkled a generous amount along the crack in the concrete where the ants were. They were gone. I will try it this way, too. Look at them all lined up around it like a little army. Sorry, ants.

[@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319]

Great tip. Thanks.

[@bnalive5077]

Borax is better

[@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319]

I hesitate using Borax as it is toxic to honey bees while the baking soda is beneficial for them.
