    • 3). Fill each container with the borax mixture to 1/2 inch below the holes, and place the lids on the containers.

    • 4). Place the baited containers in rooms with ant problems but away from areas accessible to pets and children.

    • 5). Wait for the ants to enter the containers. They will eat the borax-impregnated syrup and carry more back to their nests. Over time, borax kills ants.

    • 6). Replace the bait when the borax solution disappears.
