How to Kill Ants in House
Step 1:
Make the solution. Place a funnel on the mouth of a jug and put 3 teaspoons of the boric acid powder, then fill it with the apple juice. Place the cap and shake. You might want to experiment with the mixture. It should not kill the ants instantly, you want them to drink it, take it back to the nest, and share it with the rest.
Step 2:
Pour into the bottle caps and add tiny bits of bread. Place it in areas where you see ants. Keep this away from children or pets at home. You can put this on capsules with small holes, so ants can go in and out and get the solution. This will make sure that it won’t spill when it tips over. Let it sit for a few days. Once you see the ants trailing to the bait, follow them and move the solution closer to their entry point. Look outside and see if you can find ant trails going inside your home. Seal up those entry points.
