Ants will disappear in 2-3 days: how to make bait for pests - tips will surprise you with their simplicity
Perhaps, for many gardeners and vegetable growers, one of the main “headaches” are ants.
Insects cause catastrophic damage to plants, and some crops are mercilessly destroyed.
But even these small enemies can be dealt with. The methods are quite simple, but very effective.
One of them involves using boric acid. In order to "treat" the ants with it, we will sprinkle starch under the currant trunk.
Ants cannot digest this “delicacy”.
Experienced gardeners also use baking soda, coffee grounds and corn flour to drive out pests.
You can also sprinkle cinnamon along the paths where ants move.
Boric acid is needed in the amount of a third of a teaspoon. You will also need two glasses of warm water, a glass of sugar and half a teaspoon of honey.
Another remedy is yeast. You need half a pack. Plus two glasses of warm water, a glass of sugar and a teaspoon of honey.
We place this mixture on a plate and place it near the plant that the ants are trying to raid.
The insects will “grab” the free food into their anthill and feed the queen, who is laying eggs.
But since the ants’ bodies cannot digest such a delicacy, they will die out in a couple of days.
Another method is to put a sweet mixture in a box with sawdust. When the ants are in the box, just throw it away.
You can also spray vinegar on paths where ants are found.
