The best ant bait poison packet in the world

Why not add sugar as well so it works for both types of ants?

Thank you for this video. I believe my ants are protein eaters since they go after the cat food I put out for the feral cats I feed outside. I will probably make these packets for the ants, hopefully the bags can keep the cats out of them. If not I will try small glass bottles with covers and just punch little holes on the cover. Great video. Thanks again.

They always go to around my coffee pot. No think they’re sugar ants. Had it not been for my son, I wouldn’t have know man they were there. (I am legally blind) so I used the magnifier on my phone and they’re going nuts and getting in the bait but now it’s got ants in it, a lot of ants, do I need to change it out? I’ve filled 2 so far today. I wish I knew where their home is so I could just poor boiling water down it. They just randomly showed up one day.

If ants eat only sugar or meat I’d think a bait for both types of ants is actually the best.

The ants that I have are the tiniest ones there are (I can't remember the kind of ant that is.)

I am dealing with ants that love my okra blooms, and they eat them and the okra falls off.........no aphids around.....only ants...

@My Kitchen Vlog Thank You! can the protein source be peanut butter?

Only flaw maybe if you have pets that this may not work? What do you think?

Good video thank you I will try it

Thanks ❤!

Awesome, thanks. I'm going to use cat food.

can you use chicken and sugar together to make an all purpose bait?

Protein ants ! should be in a title or make another video with Protein Ants in the title. People are really searching for this. The difference why sugar water and sweets do not work for some ants. They are looking for protein. Mine certainly did look for protein, cat food.

Another tip.. used cat food pate.. so you dont have to mince chicken.. I have cats and ants have been attacking the leftovers of cat food. So now.. i used the pate cat food and mixed it with boric Acid. They have been eating it. Just did it last night .. waiting to see how fast it works.

I didn't know about the two different types of ants thank you very much clearly wisdom comes with age sir I appreciate your time and the video was really good.

The video was long but it was very informative

What kind of ants that eat my melon plant root and the stem

I clean houses for a living and this might be a great tip to pass along to some of my clients who can't seem to get rid of their ants in the conventional way. However, I'm wondering if you couldn't just use a can of cat food or a jar if chicken baby food instead of having to chop up a chicken if you have it on hand...

Beauty!

Hopefully this will help in a restaurant

Goldfish….. 😂

Good video! Press the air out of packets before and while sealing… use a book if you need to. It will last better in the freezer. 👍 Thanks!!!

My best way is in Spring open all your windows-and doors and grab that handy can of WD-40 spray all along the trim and over the doors threshold, BRAVO lasts at least 4-6wks!! Works on ants, spiders(most) ticks.
Ps: my dogs and kits never messed with it on threshold, they don’t like the smell. Let them sniff the can first, the show them the smell of the threshold.

Canned meat like Canned Ham, spam, chicken, even tuna works. Canned cat or dog food.

Thanks Dennis.
How do you keep animals from taking the packets ...like crows and other animals ?

Does this work on goast ants

Ants are cannibalistic and when an ant dies it's buddies just consume it as part of their regular food supply. The ants that find the bait (either the protein as you described or Boric Acid and Sugar) will consume some of the bait before bringing a supply back to feed the colony.
Between the bait that is shared around and the now dying ants the Acid is spread around to kill the entire colony.
The protein and acid mix is also effective for Yellow Jackets, Hornets and Wasps and can be positioned UP out of the way of pets.

Thanks for teaching me there are two types of ants. I did not know that. But can tell you why I have failed at killing them Sir. Now I know.

I was wondering why my sugar/borax quit working. Thanks.

This is very interesting! I never knew there were some ants that like sugar and some like protein! I have an ant hill in an area outside that I want to plant in so I'll try this to see if it gets rid of them!

I used this system for getting rid of our ants. It works. I had an old piece of chicken tender that I had over cooked. It was very dry, and I figured...let's give it a try. Like clockwork...after I minced the tender into as fine a particle size that I could with a sharp knife, I mixed in regular borax powder (same that you use in laundry) and placed the mixture into Ziplock baggies (3 of them). I left one end of the baggie unzipped so the ants could get in. The amount of Borax powder was about half a tablespoon. I didn't want the mixture to be too strong because I wanted the worker ants to make it back to the colony with the bait. The ants came in droves (verifying they were protein ants). A few days later...there were fewer ants. By the 4th day...they were all just about gone. The queen was terminated. This system works like a charm. The trick is understanding if the ants respond to protein or sugar. If they come back, I'll repeat this process. I have lots of Borax left over.

My ants have destroyed so many coffee pots now I had to throw away a beautiful new kurig k cafe and a new beautihul Bunn to replace would cost almost 400 dollars😒 so I just bought a old fashioned percolator I can see in wash out ... and I keep my kitty food and water in a cookie pan with diatomaceous earth .. thank you I'll give it a try

Can you just use a zip lock baggie to make these packets? I don’t have any type of heat sealer? Also, to use a sealed bag, do you make a small slit on it so ants can get inside?

I use Borax. Works well too. But, I’ve read you can but borax outdoors, all around your foundation and I the ants won’t get into your house. Apparently walking through the Borax does them in.

Great great. G

Just found your video. It's the best one out there! Like you, I have protein ants. No wonder tne ant baits I purchased and the borax, sugar and water traps I made didn't work. But turkey & borax in a bag worked great. Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing that not all ants are attracted to sugar. I have been unsuccessfully trying to kill them for a couple of years and they only got worse. Did your aluminum foil test with meat and some juice. Well now l see with my eyes they are protein ants. No one else ever shared this needful bit of knowledge.
Again thank you.

My ants don't like sugar or grease. This worked. I have only seen one or two ants since I made the bait. Will use it again.

Do the ants come back after 1 month or later? Mine seem come back from the same location/spots few weeks later...

Well today you showed me there are two kinds of ants. For 2 weeks I have baited with sugar+borax+water to make a paste and a liquid. No luck. Next I tried powdered sugar +borax+water. No luck. Today I put out peanut butter+syrup+borax. No takers. I watched your video and I put out a piece of scrambled egg and they swarmed it. Now I will make your chicken bait and I am sure they will be gone. Thank you Dennis.

Would this work on red ants?

Thanks Dennis!

So if the ants were on a knife in your sink they are coming up the drain pipe into the kitchen sink. Hmmm. How do you block them from getting in?

An interesting video Dennis! It's never too late to become an ant expert. It looked like a nice little snack until you seasoned it with boric acid!😂

Speaking as a co-star in the movie "Ant Bully" I must say I am appalled!!!!!! ;-) XOXXOOXOXOOXOX (PS... I really am in that movie)
