A clever trap will allow you to clear the area of annoying insects.
Even harmless ants can cause a lot of trouble. For example, they can set up an anthill right in the garden bed or bring aphids to the cherry tree.
You can drive away the impudent “guests” with the help of a simple remedy that will not harm the plantings.
To prepare the trap you will need:
- 5 boiled chicken eggs;
- 20 g boric acid;
- 1 tbsp. honey.
From boiled eggs you need to take only yolks. They need to be mashed until smooth, add boric acid and add honey to the mixture.
From the resulting mixture you need to roll small balls and then place them near the place where the ants have settled.
The main component here is boric acid. Honey will attract the attention of insects that will feast on the preparation.
Boric acid, once inside, will cause paralysis of the nervous system of the ants, which will eventually lead to death. As a result, some of the insects will fall, and the rest will run away in terror.
