**Instructions:**
1. In a small bowl, mix the sugar, borax, and warm water until dissolved.
2. Soak a cotton ball or a folded piece of paper towel in the solution.
3. Place it in areas where you’ve seen ants—like along baseboards, windowsills, or near their entry points.
**That’s it—less than 4 minutes from start to finish.**

### What Happens Next?
The sugar **attracts** the ants, the borax **kills** them—but slowly. That’s the key. The ants take the bait back to their colony, unknowingly spreading the borax and wiping out the nest from the inside. Within 24–72 hours, you’ll see the ant traffic disappear.
