Ants are fascinating to watch…until they start to enter your home in great numbers and become a real nuisance.

So, what can you do if ants invade your home?

First up, you will need to remove any items of food or liquid and store them in fully sealable containers. Now their food source has disappeared, you can treat the infestation.

Effective methods include creating a Borax trap – Borax can be bought at any home store and kills ants by interfering with their digestive system. Mix one-part Borax with three-parts sugar then put the mixture in a container near where you see ants. Otherwise, sprinkle Cornmeal near the insects – ants think cornmeal is food, however, it causes digestion issues which kill them.
