Honey as a Bait for Pests

Honey can serve as an effective tool in the fight against insect pests. Here are a few ideas:

  • For wasps and hornets: create a simple trap using a plastic bottle. Pour a little water inside and add honey. The sweet scent will attract the insects, and they will get trapped.
  • For ants: mix honey with boric acid. Place the resulting mixture in areas where ants have been seen. This remedy will help eliminate the insects without using aggressive chemicals.
