Ants are a headache for many summer residents, gardeners, horticulturists and other owners of land plots.
These insects cause a lot of harm to crops grown in the fields.
There are various methods of confronting troublemakers, but, as experienced people say, one of the most effective is a half-forgotten method practiced in the Soviet era.
Since there were no special “ant-fighting” chemicals in stores at that time, resourceful people actively used folk remedies.
In particular, they took bread, soaked it in water with sugar (2 tablespoons of sugar per glass of water) and added a tablespoon of ammonia.
Then they rolled the resulting mass into balls and scattered them in the garden, near the anthill, around the house and other buildings.
A spoonful of honey was added for aroma.
Some ants died from such a "gift", others quickly left the area. And forever.
Some people added a spoonful of boric acid powder instead of ammonia, which killed not only ants, but also cockroaches.
For reference
Ants are a family of insects from the superfamily Antidae, order Hymenoptera.
