Ant Bait

A garden around your house can have aphids, white flies and mealy bugs. These insects feed on the sap of plants and constantly excrete honeydew which in turn attracts ants. So do some pest control and get rid of these garden pests first if you want to keep the ants away. You can create liquid bait for the ants that can get rid of them. This bait is made of boric acid and corn syrup and the concoction has to be heated till all the boric acid has dissolved. Now use this solution at places that ants frequently visit in the garden and the house. You need to wet these places before you put in drops of the solution. Continue doing this for at least a fortnight or more, and this can keep the ants out of your house for ever. Using this solution in the house is not recommended where children and pets are present.
