I moved furniture, washed all my sheets, vacuumed everything I even scrubbed parts of my rag that I thought I might have spilled somethingHowever, my concern is I know ants leave a trail and I'm worried that it will just happen again.
browning of bannanas is due to the enzymes in the fruit being exposed to the airso the ppl who gave the acid dip answers are correct because enzmes are destroyed by heat and acidthere fore dipping the fruit in acid will denature the enzymes and stop the browining reaction
Quite easy, actuallySprinkle a bit of lemon juice on itIt won't affect the flavor really, but the acid will help keep it fresh.
Dipping it in any acidic juice will workOr throw it in the freezerFrozen bananas are awesome to eat but it'll also thaw really quickly when you add it to your oatmeal.
coat them in either orange, lime, pineapple or lemon juiceyou don't have to drench the banana in the juice, just lightly brush it on the exposed portion of the banana.(leave the peel on)The acid helps keep it fresh, you can also put these juices on other fruits, say apples, to prevent them from turning brown also
If the ants are carpenter ants (large ants), you probably have wood rot in the wallsYou will need a professional to fix that If the ants are small black ants (sugar ants), you can kill them with borax mixed into maple syrup: Mix some borax, maple syrup, and water togetherPut the mixture in all the places you have seen ants.on the floor, etc(Don't put it on the floor if you have children or pets, tho.) Put this mixture directly on surfacesDon't even bother with a bowl or saucerThis way the ants can get to it easilyI don't recommend placing the mixture directly on wood, thoIn this case, use a flat piece of waxed paper to protect the woodDo not use aluminium foil.ants avoid aluminium foilYou can buy borax in the laundry section of most grocery storesIt's called 20 Mule Team Borax And the Maple syrup can be real Maple Syrup or Maple Flavored Syrup.it doesn't matterAnts love bothThe ants will find this little dessert irresistible and it will kill themIt might take a couple of days to notice a differenceI would leave the poison out for at least 14 days to make sure you get the new babies, tooThe beauty of this poison is that the worker ants take it to the Queen Keep the poison moist by adding water every now and thenBe careful to keep this out of the reach of children and petsBorax is a poison, after all.but at least you won't have fumes or residue left behind all over your house.
