How I Got Rid of Ants in 3 Minutes Using My Aunt’s Trick

After trying countless sprays and traps with no lasting results, my aunt shared a simple method

that actually worked: a borax and sugar solution. It targets the entire ant colony, not just the ones you see.

What to Do:
Mix 1 part borax with 3 parts sugar.

Add water to make a syrupy mix.

Soak cotton balls or use cardboard to hold the bait.

Place near ant trails.

Ants carry the sweet bait back to their nest, sharing it with the queen. Within minutes,

they start dying off—and within days, the whole colony is gone.

It’s cheap, easy, and safe when used correctly. Plus, keeping your home clean and sealed helps prevent them from coming back.
