Mix equal parts powdered boric acid and a sweet food such as peanut butter, corn syrup and powdered sugar, and then add water. Make sure the mixture is viscous and still somewhat liquid so that the ants can eat it without drowning. Place mixture in small containers along all active chemical trails.
Mix equal parts of vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Then add dish soap and shake the bottle to combine the ingredients. Spray the mixture directly on ants, their trails, and entry points. This spray works well because vinegar has a strong odor that disrupts scent trails and keeps ants from entering your home.
You can use both borax and boric acid interchangeably for killing ants. In fact, if you notice that ants are not attracted to the borax bait, you should substitute borax with boric acid. Studies show that some ant species are more likely to reject borax baits than boric acid baits and vice versa.
One recipe you can try calls for a half cup of sugar, 1.5 tablespoons of borax, and 1.5 cups of warm water. Simply mix all the ingredients together until they're blended, and place the bait in the trap for the ants to consume. Another recipe to try, calls for three parts sugar for every one part borax.
It's the perfect combination—the sugar attracts the roaches and the boric acid, while not toxic enough to harm humans, will kill the cockroaches. However, it is easy to use this method of control incorrectly, leaving you with this pest.
