The Baking Soda Tip to Get Rid of Ants

Here’s how to use baking soda to get rid of ants:

Ingredients

• Baking soda
• Powdered sugar
• Water (optional)

Steps

1. Prepare the mixture: Mix equal parts of baking soda and powdered sugar. The sugar attracts the ants, while the baking soda kills them.
2. Apply the mixture: Sprinkle the mixture in areas where you have seen ants, such as window sills, doorways, and cracks. You can also place the mixture in small containers.
3. Wait: The ants will be attracted to the sugar and consume the mixture. Once ingested, the baking soda reacts with acids in their stomachs, producing carbon dioxide, which kills them.
