Will diluted bleach kill ants?
In Arizona, the summer is unforgiving and ants are swarming in by the hundreds. I did a little online research and found out the effective solution is to bait ants with a sweet and a poison so that the poison will spread to other ants/the source. After that, I cleaned out a Windex bottle and put sugar water, honey, and bleach into it, shook it up and sprayed it on my lawn. However, I've noticed that the ants seem to be quite enjoying the solution because I put a LOT of honey and sugar water (about ten ounces) along with barely two to three ounces of bleach. I was just wondering if the amount of bleach was too small because the ants aren't dying and seem to be eating it up if anything. Thanks.
