There are several ways to combat harmful insects.

All of them involve the use of boric acid.

For example, you can dilute a packet of the product in 500 ml of warm liquid, and then soak ripe banana peels in the solution.

This “treat” should then be placed next to the anthills.

Another option involves adding additional components to the solution of water and acid.

This can be jam, honey or sugar. The liquid should be poured into saucers or bottle caps and placed near the anthills.

The third option is bait balls.

To prepare, you need to boil 2 eggs and mash them into a puree, then add honey and boric powder. You need to make balls from the ingredients. It is important to arrange them in such a way that pets cannot eat them.

As a result, the ants that try such food will die, which means they will stop harming the crops and spreading aphids.
