Recently, "uninvited guests" in the form of red ants increasingly began to appear both in apartments and in private houses and in the household plots. In places of their greatest clusters are usually considered wet and poorly ventilated rooms, as well as places where food is stored. If you cannot immediately notice these guests, then in the time the colony of insects will increase at times and the fight will be harder, and if the ants have already settled on your site, then save the plants will be different. We offer to use the proven tool - boric acid.
What is a boric acid?
Boric acid crystals are very similar to the dining room salt, they are odorless, white and have no taste. Minerals, of which boric acid occurs, are usually found in dry layers of salt lake or arid areas.
Sometimes boric acid is already sold in the form of a liquid that retains all powder properties. A rather common view that Boric Acid is harmless to humans, but quite effectively fights ants. Is it so? When inhaling a man of large volumes of vapor boric acid, serious problems in the body may occur, up to damage to the esophagus and stomach. We must not forget about boric acid toxicity when working with it.
How does the boric acid affect the ants?
Boric acid can be very effective when dealing with cockroaches, ants and other household insects. If you study the composition of special tools from insects sold in our business stores, then you will notice that they almost all contain boric acid as the main ingredient.
When an insect eats boric acid, she poisoned the stomach and affects the insect metabolism. Powder is abrasive and corrosive organs of digestion and isolating the ant. Also, the drug acts on the sexual functions of the insect, depriving them to multiply. This will lead to a significant reduction in the number of ant colony.
One of the reasons why boric acid is so effective to combat ants, is that the poisoned insect returns to its nest, and poisons other insects.
What needs to be remembered for effective struggle?
When creating boric acid traps, it is important to accommodate out of inaccessibility for small children and animals.
It is necessary to find the correct combination of boric acid, because a large number will kill the ants until they reach their nest, and too small - will not be effective.
It is also important to remember that it is necessary to continue to place ant traps over the next week or even two, as the number of ant decreases. In the first few days you can see their active family, which is then sharply reduced as the poison poison all the ants. It is necessary to continue to place ant traps to destroy all the ant nest.
