Here we explain how to use baking soda to eliminate ants:
Ingredients
Baking soda
Powdered sugar
Water (optional)
Steps
Prepare the mixture: Mix equal parts baking soda and powdered sugar. Sugar attracts ants, while baking soda kills them.
Apply the mixture: Sprinkle the mixture on areas where you have seen ants, such as window sills, door frames, and cracks. You can also place the mixture in small containers.
Wait: The ants will be attracted to the sugar and consume the mixture. Once ingested, baking soda reacts with the acids in their stomachs and produces carbon dioxide, which kills them.
Additional Tips
Using water: If you prefer a liquid application, you can mix baking soda and sugar with a little water to create a paste. Apply this paste on the problem areas.
Regular Cleaning: Be sure to regularly clean areas where ants are present to remove pheromone trails that attract other ants.
Seal entrances: Try to seal cracks and openings where ants enter your home to prevent them from returning.
By following these steps, you should be able to reduce or eliminate ant infestations naturally and non-toxicly.
