Organic Ant Control For Fruit Trees

[burgerboy]

Found this little secret at homedepot and works wonders on my fruit trees with my ant problem.

Mix boric acid or "borax" 50/50 with icing sugar, add water. place in containers and ants
on trees or in house carry the stuff back to nests and kill entire colonies.
Boric acid can be bought at any pharmacies, its used to flush contact lenses (must be pretty safe and 'organic' for the eyes?)
One application will keep you ant free for 3-4 years as treats the nests or hills. Pet safe, not harmful to anything but insects. Be careful, affects honey bees.

Great for indoor use, avoid bees outdoors.

I use the borax method it's great for sugar loving ants.
I use syrup and borax.
Here's something you forgot to mention.
You have to do a little testing to make sure it's not too strong.
If it's to strong you'll see dead ants.
You want them to survive long enough to take it home.
I put it on the ground where I see ants.
You can put it in places bees can't get to easily.

Work great
Use the rest in your laundry
