I Don’t Use Chemicals for Ants—Just a Banana Peel, and the Problem is Solved
1. Preparation: Choose ripe bananas with dark spots. Eat the fruit and save the peels.
2. Prepare the Solution: Mix half a liter of hot water with 10 grams of boric acid in a container.
3. Soak the Peels: Submerge the banana peels in the prepared solution and let them sit for several hours.
4. Cut the Peels: Once soaked, remove the peels and cut them into small pieces.
5. Placement: Distribute the pieces under shrubs and along pathways where you see ants.
6. Elimination Process: Ants will be attracted to the treated peels and carry the boric acid back to the nest.
7. Result: While the ants won’t die immediately, the boric acid will accumulate in their bodies, eventually eliminating the entire colony, including the queen.
8. Additional Benefit: As the banana peels decompose, they serve as a natural fertilizer for your plants.
This method is a safe and effective way to control ants in your garden without harming beneficial insects.
