How to Use Baking Soda For Ants
WouterUsing baking soda for ants is a cheap, easy, and effective way to get rid of ants. It is also non-toxic to humans and other animals.
Baking soda is a natural substance that alters the ant’s body and pH. It works by neutralizing the acidity of ant’s stomach, which kills them.
However, baking soda isn’t the only way to kill ants. There are many other ant killers out there. You may find that some of them are more effective than others.
You may want to try a more all natural approach. A good way to do this is to sprinkle baking soda around the perimeter of your home. It will kill ants, but it won’t hurt your plants or the environment.
To get the best results, you will want to use an ant killing bait. This is a doughy substance that is attractive to ants and is diluted by the ants’ body.
A bait can be used outside, inside or in any shallow container with a lid. Make sure that the container is shallow enough so the ants can easily scale it. You can even place the bait in soda cans. The ants will climb into the can and pick up the sugary mixture.
A baking soda concoction will not taste very good, but it is effective. This is because ants are not able to tell the difference between sugar and baking soda. They will carry the mixture back to their nests.
