Mini Ant Bait Box

[MetalDesigner]

Every year when it warmed up we would have a Mini-Ant invasion and exterminator said can't stop them for more than few days.

So we would have ants everywhere for 3 months ... Those pesky little mini ones.

I just wipe them off my food, and grew up with ants in the coffee sugar, no big deal.
.. but others didn't like them.



So 3 Years ago 3D-Printed up Borax & Honey Ant Bait Boxes ...

Changed the design today to make it easier to remove the lids when they get dry Honey on them ... and that is why I am posting this NEW version.



Unfortunately, 3D-Printed items are not as strong as injection molded plastic; however, it seems each year the materials are getting stronger.



For 3 years now, after 24 hours of the ants eating the honey with Borax in it and then taking it back to their nest ...
The next day no more ants for the rest of the year



I post this on Twitter every year for others that are having ant problems



Heard Texas has had some pretty bad mini-ant invasions last few years

Changed the design this year to make the Lids easier to remove:

Probably could do the same thing with a Mint box or jar lid?

CHEERS!!!
