Happy Monday, everyone! I thought I would throw this out there for those of you who are interested...because it is Spring and I know alot of you are probably in the same boat as I am.

It's that time of year again. ANT season. Yep. Last year I had a whole "gang" of them marching one by one through my living room...I could have SCREAMED! We get the huge black carpenter ants that make a huge mess when you step on them. You know what I mean?

Anyway, my mom gave me her special "recipe" for ant killer and also gave me some of her already made stuff. So, I put it out and I am telling you...within 48 hours, my ants were GONE. It was amazing!

So, here is the recipe...hope it works for you!

**Ant Killer**

1/3 cup PURE Maple Syrup (artificial won't work)

1 Level tsp. Boric Acid (I got a huge bottle of it for just $5.99 at the hardware store)

Heat acid and syrup until acid is dissolved. Cool. Dilute with an equal amount of water. Store in a glass jar. Put poison in jar lids where ants feed. (Keep out of reach of children and pets!)

"Special" ingredients!

Boiling the ingredients.

Storing the Ant Killer...mark your jar well! :)
