ant baits
If we see that the ants continue to come to our home, we can use a commercial bait to easily kill the entire colony. Those baits are often the best way to treat ants. The only thing needed is patience.
We can also do our own homemade bait, all we need is to mix 1 tablespoon of boric acid in a cup of sugar, sprinkle it on the areas where ants frequent the most and wait for it to take effect. Of course, you should keep pets and children away.
If we have children or a pet, we will only have to leave the mixture in a jar and make small holes in it, the ants will enter it.
