How to Make Insect Lures
Boric acid
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.
It is recommended to boil an egg, separate the yolk and crumble it using any device. Next, take a spoon of powdered sugar and about twenty grams of boric acid.
We combine all the components, form the bait and place it where ants often pass.
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.
The mixture can be sprinkled on paths, anthills and any other places where you often see insects.
