Hey everyone, Dave Saunders here. There’s something particularly annoying about walking into your kitchen in the morning, turning on the light, and seeing a long trail of tiny ants marching across your countertop like they pay rent. I’ve been there more times than I can count — both in my own home and in hundreds of houses I’ve helped over the years.

After testing almost every commercial ant bait, spray, and “natural” remedy on the market, I finally settled on one simple DIY ant trap that consistently gives the best results. It’s cheap, incredibly easy to make, and most importantly — it actually works by destroying the entire colony, not just the ants you see.
