Homemade Ant Killer With Just 2 Ingredients
Jump to the part you need
Lynn mixes a two-ingredient ant bait out of sugar and baking soda in a jar lid and sets it where the ants are coming in, so she doesn't have to put chemical ant killers inside the house. She then leaves the camera on it and shows the ants finding it over the next couple of hours.
What Lynn shows you
- Two ingredients, equal parts: she puts two teaspoons of white sugar and two teaspoons of baking soda in a solid jar lid, and says powdered sugar works just as well as white.
- She explains the division of labor plainly - "the sugar is what draws the ants to your little lid" and the baking soda is what does the killing.
- She sets expectations honestly: it takes "probably a day or two," and she says it gets rid of "at least 90%" of the problem, not every last ant.
- She places the lid near dripping water because "they're going for that water," and on camera the first ant finds it within a couple of hours.
- This is her indoor version - she mentions she makes different mixes for outside and for campgrounds and offers to show those if people ask.
