This remedy does not pose a threat to your summer cottage, but for ants, such a treat will be their last. Therefore, it is definitely worth trying.

With yeast

This method is almost identical to the previous one, but in this case it is suggested to use yeast instead of eggs. You will need to mix a packet of yeast with a spoon of sugar and twenty grams of boric acid.
