Description
I tested every cheap ant killer under $5 — sprays, powders, and homemade bait
— to find out which ones actually kill the colony and which ones just kill
the ants you can see. Here's what actually worked after three weeks of testing.
In this video:
0:00 Why most ant killers fail
0:45 How an ant colony actually works
1:30 The #1 mistake people make treating ants
2:15 Testing diatomaceous earth
3:00 Testing homemade borax bait
3:45 Testing spray killers
4:30 The one that actually worked
Products/methods mentioned:
- Diatomaceous earth (food grade)
- Homemade borax + sugar bait
- Store-bought ant sprays
If you've got an ant problem right now, tell me where — counter, pantry, or
outdoors — and I'll help you figure out where to start.
