Nevertheless, you can get rid of ants with a simple and effective folk method, which includes the use of boric acid and banana peels, the Telegraph writes.

Boric acid is known for its high effectiveness against ants. But in order for this substance to be really effective, it needs to be presented in the form of a bait. Banana peel will help with this.

The method of action is quite simple:

  1. Cut the banana peel into small pieces.
  2. Sprinkle a small amount of boric acid on them.
  3. Wait for a while until the peel is soaked in the substance.

After that, scatter these "poisoned" fruit residues in the places where ants usually live on your property.

The ants will not only eat the "tempting" peel, but will also bring it to their accomplices. Thus, the poisoned material will spread throughout the entire ant hill. This will allow you to get rid of these insects with a heavy hand, quickly and efficiently.

Remember that unwanted guests such as flies can disturb your peace of mind. There is an unmistakable solution to get rid of this problem.
