Ants can be beneficial in a garden, but when they invade your paths, pots, or even your home, it’s time to take action. Instead of resorting to harmful chemical insecticides, here’s an eco-friendly, affordable, and highly effective solution using simple ingredients.
– 🥚 2 hard-boiled egg yolks
– 🍯 ½ teaspoon of honey
– 🧪 1 teaspoon of boric acid powder (available at pharmacies or online)
– Mash the egg yolks into a paste.
– Add honey and boric acid.
– Mix until smooth and homogeneous.
– Form small balls of the paste and place them:
– Near visible ant nests
– At home entrances (baseboards, cracks, thresholds)
– Along their usual paths
Ants will carry the paste back to the nest, gradually eliminating the colony—including the queen.
– 🐶 Keep out of reach of children and pets.
– 💧 Protect baits from moisture (rain, watering).
– 🕒 Be patient: results may appear in 3 to 7 days.
– Bay leaves: place around infested areas
– Cinnamon or black pepper: sprinkle along ant paths
– Peppermint: use plants or essential oil near entrances
– Talcum powder or cornstarch: creates a physical barrier
– Sugar + baking soda mix: mild bait, but less potent
By using this solution, you’re choosing:
– A nature-friendly garden
– A non-toxic method for the environment
– An economical alternative (less than 20 cents per dose!)
🐜🌿 Try this method and restore peace to your garden—naturally!
