Homemade Ant poison

   Every Spring I get these little black ants in my kitchen.   Hate those little buggers.  So I googled homemade ant poison and got this recipe.

Homemade Ant Killer

2 cups sugar
1 cup water
2 tablespoons borax

Directions:

1
Place all ingredients into a saucepan and bring to the boil (while stirring).
2
Boil for 3 minutes.
3
Using the plastic lids from milk containers place it in the effected room or outside where the ants are.
4
They will find the sticky liquid no matter where it is placed.
5
The ants eat this and then take it back to their nest.
6
Before long there will be no more ants as this mixture will kill them.
7
Store remainder in clearly labeled container with "Do NOT Eat" so no one mistakes this for syrup as this is poisonous. Keep this away from pets!

   I made this 2 days ago and set it out.   The first day there was a steady stream of ants going to the bait and taking off.  By the very next day............ not a single ant.  They take the bait and go to their nests.  Hopefully every single one has met a untimely death.  Sorry ants.  Not in my house.  I suggest making only 1/4 of the recipe since it is so effective and you don't need much.
