3. The Peanut Butter and Baking Soda Trap
Why it works: Peanut butter attracts ants with its strong smell, and baking soda reacts with the acid in their digestive systems, killing them.
How to make it:
- Mix equal parts peanut butter and baking soda.
- Place small dollops in shallow containers near ant pathways.
How it eliminates ants: Ants are drawn to the peanut butter, consume the bait, and the baking soda causes fatal internal reactions. Over time, this reduces the ant population significantly.
Bonus Tips for Preventing Ants
- Keep your home and balcony clean and free of crumbs.
- Seal cracks and gaps where ants enter.
- Remove standing water and food sources.
Final Thought
Ants may seem small, but their colonies can be massive and hard to eliminate. Using these natural, effective traps gives you a safe, non-toxic way to target ants at their source. With patience and consistent use, you can reclaim your home and balcony from these tiny invaders — forever.
