I used to have a problem with scorpions in my house: they wouldn't stop singing "Rock You Like A Hurricane", but I put some beer outside and they eventually left.

You can also add peanut butter to the jelly and borax. House Ants are basically looking for 3 things when they come inside our houses: water, sugar, and protein. So, eliminating water sources, and providing a peanut butter and jelly mixture with borax should take of the whole colony!

BORAX and any type sugar, honey, etc...

I saw another video use Dawn dish soap with baking soda, couple tablespoons of each in a gallon of water, did my first test run yesterday.

Joshua Payton Great tips! Thank you!

+Joshua Payton Mind sending me a video related to what you're talking about? I need help, our house has been infested with a colony of ants in the kitchen and I don't know if baits from the store will help

Joshua Payton I'll have to try this. Question, does Borax have anything to do with Baking Soda?

Vilma T. Gonzalez Borax is different from baking soda. It can be found in the laundry detergent aisle.

Thanks. I'll do the dry first to get the queen then liquid to finish them off.

wow...

Link?

Chipp Marshal what kind of essential oil?

mint, lavender

Thank you!!!!

Post a link

Thank you for watching!

fantastic information thank you!!😀

Cloves work on me too.

That's really good to know about the cream soda! Thank you! :-)

@@TheCrunchyHousewife and @ Partially Off Grid & Homesteading Cream soda down the ant hole to kill them, huh? Cream soda is pretty much made of sugar, so would it be reasonable to think that perhaps they could all be dying from type II diabetes complications? 😂

+Cecily Marrable Thank you for the idea! And thank you for watching!

Can I use brown sugar?

+jane Doe That is so awesome! I can't wait to get chickens! Thank you for watching!

I've been thingking to get chickens for our house aswell

I was wondering how long the boiling water as weedkiller would work!! Glad I kept scrolling!! I am so sick of digging up weeds but refuse to use any Weed Be Gone type poison around my grandkids or fur babies.

I think you need a spell check, on the word "Walks". It should be spelt 'woks' ! 😂🤣😁( are you thinking Chinese Food? If not, you must not have had Chinese food from an open food market. )

Hi, what type of peppermint oil do you use?

I'm so glad this is helpful. Thank you for watching!

How can u live with scorpions

Thanks, I'll try this : ).

+Audrey K Your welcome. Hope it works for you as it did for me. I have since had another infiltration of ants in the same container. I did the same thing and it worked again. Should work for you, too.

Orthene 97 will work.

+SalimXSrew Anime Videos & Vines And now, 140 ants disliked this video.

netopito hates this video

Lol now 528 ants disliked lmao

Lol😂

They're dead now Muahahahaha

boiling water also kills weeds down to the root (provide you have enough), works well on weeds growing in cracks in cement.

Thanks about the we tip!

Boiling water for weeds?!?! Not Dawn and Vinegar and water in a sprayer?? SO. MUCH. EASIER and LEAST EXPENSIVE of ALL!! Doing this later today!!!

You can’t feed your plants with boiling water.

+freedom dove Great tips, thank you! Thank you for watching!

TheCrunchyHousewife You're welcome, and thanks. :) Just an update....I didn't have any luck with the starch. It was too fine and only succeeded in making a big mess on my counter. I think the grits are too big for these particular ants, but I did sprinkle them back in the wall where I think the nest was. I've had a large reduction by doing that plus setting out cottonballs soaked in sugar water with borax. I still see a few each day coming out of the over-flow hole in my bathroom sink so I think I'll have to switch tactics once more to make sure the queen is gone. They caught on to the sugar syrup and are starting to avoid it. The problem is that they are in a wall between my kitchen and bathroom and I can only get to a very small section of that. I'm about to try those Terro ant baits to see if they're more appealing than my homemade bait. It's borax-based, too, but they might have a better recipe than mine. I think the one I used has a little too much borax.

freedom dove Grits "DO NOT" kill fire ants. WHY not ? Because adult ants do not eat solid food. The worker ants transport food back to the colony to feed the larvae not the queen. Once the larvae has consumed the solid matter, the adult ants eat the regurgitated liquid from the larvae. Hope this helps to debunk that myth. ☺

tried; no effect with my ants.

Dont put it in the house,, put it a the source of the trail going in an old water bottle ,,,mix it up inside,,lay it on its side & poke a few holes in the part that's empty,, lay it down at the source ,,, them will find it & they do get rid of em,,, but they end up having queens escape when they know they've been duped,, It takes pretty much a week. Get them with a good spray of Vinegar, salt & a tad of dish liquid,,,,, I mix 1gal of vinegar, 1 cup salt , 1 tablespoon of dish liquid 😘👍

Grits worked for me too

I live in the South in TN grits do not work. Also...it doesn't work on fire ants or any ants.

+Kim Medley Probably too much borax/boric acid in the mix. I'm in Florida too, and the ants are tiny. I've used Terro and made my own Terro-like stuff and they both attract ants and get rid of them--mostly. My homemade "Terro" attracted hundreds of ants to my kitchen counter and then they all disappeared! Some came back and started avoiding the Terro like they knew it was poison. Bait traps also worked pretty well. I still have some ants and they're in my bed! What's the attraction to perfectly clean sheets?

Depending on the season ants will look for either protein or sugar to eat, the sugar won't work if they are looking for protein. Try mixing borax with peanut butter.

If you dissolve the borax in 2 cups of boiling water you won't have to strain anything. :o)

Leonie Lombard Thank you!

That only works on Mexican ants! jajajaja

It's food grade. DUH.

Or a gun if they don't describe what Marcellus Wallace looks like.

@Wildlife warrior - Well if you knew anything about how ants build their "nest", many of the tunnels travel laterally for a foot or two, and then turn upwards into a chamber; they do this because when it rains the water will not flood the food and nursery chambers. Water travels Down when poured on the nest, not laterally or upwards. You can easily see this when you look at castings made when molten metal is poured into a nest. Metal will travel only where the tunnels are because it is a molten SOLID (not absorbed by the soil), whereas water will soak through the soil and go strait down. But if you run a stick down the center of the hill and pour the water quickly, the water will back up because it cannot absorb fast enough and will travel laterally a little bit more.

@Wildlife warrior - Sure they can, if they are well established, which can take several months to a year. But the majority of homeowners don't let them get that established. An average fire ant nest in a yard is seldom more than 2-3 feet deep.

@Wildlife warrior - Now you do, but it's obvious you didn't until it was explained to you.

@Wildlife warrior - Far better to over-kill than to under-kill when it comes to fire ants!

Cool, I got a box of Borax to kill poison ivy and this video made me not want to use it. I will use it for ants too.

I have Boric acid. Does it work the same against ants?

Thanks! I'm gonna go and steal it now!!

tickyful, haha, yes I've seen that same Matrix scene unfold after sealing entryways the ant Agents had previously been using. Great visual :-D

Use cinimon i stuck a stick of cinnamon in a ant hole and they moved no longer have that ant hill in my yard don't know where they went or if it killed them but they left

And it is as in my tomato garden and tomato was fine ants gone
