Keep Pests Away, and Let TidyBirdCleaning Handle the Rest

Spring is here—and so are the ants. These tiny pests show up overnight, marching across your countertops, floors, and even inside your pantry. While a clean home helps reduce the chance of ants settling in, sometimes you need a little extra help to kick them out. Here are some tips on how to make an ant trap at home to get rid of these pesky intruders.

The good news? You don’t need to buy fancy traps. In fact, you can make an ant trap at home using items you probably already have in your kitchen. And once the pests are gone, TidyBirdCleaning can handle the rest of the mess—keeping your space spotless and stress-free.

Why Are Ants So Active in Spring?

As the weather warms up, ants come out in full force searching for food and water. Your home becomes a prime target—especially if crumbs, spills, or pet food are left out. While regular cleaning helps, even the tidiest homes can face the occasional invasion.

This is where homemade ant traps can come in handy.

DIY Ant Trap Recipe – So Simple!

Here’s an easy, effective ant trap you can make today:

🧪 What You Need:

• 1 tablespoon of borax (available in most laundry aisles)
• 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey
• 1–2 tablespoons of warm water
• Cotton balls or a small dish
• A lid, paper plate, or small container

🧼 Instructions:

1. Mix the borax, sugar, and water in a small bowl until everything dissolves.
2. Soak a cotton ball in the mixture or pour a small amount into a shallow lid.
3. Place it near entry points where you’ve seen ants—windowsills, baseboards, or under the sink.

🔁 The sugar attracts the ants, and the borax takes care of the problem. Within a few days, you’ll notice the trail disappearing.

⚠️ Tip: Keep traps away from pets and small children.

Clean the Trail

After setting your trap, clean the ant trail using vinegar and water. This helps erase the pheromone path that attracts other ants to the same spot.

But if wiping down cabinets and scrubbing floors isn’t on your to-do list—we’ve got you covered.
