I told you a couple of days ago I was bitten/stung – yet again – by fire ants while I was out working in the yard. Apparently, I’m at least mildly allergic, since my forearm swelled up, had welts on it, and itched and hurt for two days before finally subsiding. I’m ready for war.
I talked to my good friend, Nora, who sent me a solution that has worked for her. I’m going to try it and wanted to share it with you.
RECIPE:
1/4 cup Borax
3/4 cup sugar
Enough water to make a thicky syrup
USING:
Soak cotton ball in mixture, and put near ant nest. (Apparently, the ants are drawn to the sugar and are killed by the borax in a couple of days.)
I will definitely try this. I’ll let you know if it works for me.
