Peanut Butter Sandwiches That Kill Ants

Do you have problems with ants in your home? Well, I did until I found out about boric acid and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! Read on...

As a natural insecticide, boric acid is a substance you can keep at home to use to kill ants, roaches, termites, beetles, fire ants, fleas and many more insects.

It is an inexpensive product found in most drug or discount stores. The consumer, you and I, spend hundreds of dollars every year trying to rid our homes, and gardens, of pesky little varmits using commercial products and/or services. Did you know that it is used to help flame retard cotton fibers? It is placed in the mixing machines along with oil and a chemical surfactant before garneting of the cotton fibers begin. The properly treated cotton is flame retardant which is then used in mattresses, upholstered furniture and some carpets.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, boric acid is an odorless, inorganic safe product to use.
