A simple household remedy—mixing sugar and baking soda—can help control ants by targeting the colony, not just the visible insects.
Sugar attracts ants, while baking soda is harmful when carried back to the nest, which can reduce the infestation over time.
Unlike sprays that only kill surface ants, this method works through the ants’ own behavior, helping reach the source of the problem.
It’s cheap, easy to use, and can be effective for small infestations, though severe cases may still need professional pest control.
