method No-Cook or Other

Ingredients For homemade bug killer

  • 4 Tbsp
    powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp
    20 mule team borax

How To Make homemade bug killer

  • 1
    Just put this in a small bowl and add a little water to make it pourable.
  • 2
    Pour this into jar lids or milk caps.(anything) and set under sinks,under cabinets in closets,doorways etc. etc.
  • 3
    DO NOT LET KIDS OR PETS DRINK THIS! This will kill roaches-sugar ants-all other ants and bugs too.Used this for the past 20 years and I keep a bug free home. This dries out to a hard like silicone so once a week add a tiny dash of water to your lids or caps or you can remake more and set back out.I just add more water and renew this with the season changes.
  • Last Step: Don't forget to share! Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network. And don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes so we can see it too!
