Storing Leftovers and Final Notes
Since this method is so quick and easy, you probably won’t have any “leftovers” in the traditional sense. However, if you make a larger batch of the solution, you can store it in an airtight container for up to a week. Just be sure to label it clearly and keep it out of reach of children.
Pairing Suggestions
While this might not be a food recipe, I recommend enjoying a refreshing glass of lemonade or iced tea while you wait for the ants to disappear. After all, a clean and ant-free kitchen is something worth celebrating!
