Weve lived in our house for about four years.
The first spring in our home was when I initially noticed that we had an ant problem.
However, by spring those dang things were back!
That all seemed like common sense to me and mostly unhelpful.
After all, I didnt even know the punch in of ant that was entering my home.
When I pressed, ChatGPT told me black ant was a generic term (no kidding!)
and that this was a sugar ant.
It then told me the difference between a sugar ant and a carpenter ant.
Finally, we were getting somewhere.
Again, all common sense, and all the things I have already done.
I was certain these ants were oozing out of the walls just to try my patience.
But now that ChatGPT Vision told me the throw in of ant, I turned toChatGPT Deep Research.
Having leaned on holistic options in the past, I was nervous that it wouldnt be completely effective.
I let ChatGPT Deep Research know that I meant business.
Im checking out non-chemical ways to control sugar ants.
Thinking through DIY strategies for ant elimination.
Adjusting for indoor safety, focusing on homemade baits and natural solutions.
Progressing towards practical, toxin-free methods.
Heres where ChatGPT Deep Research shines.
Mix equal parts baking soda and powdered sugar and distribute small pinches of this mixture near ant trails.
So, I tried Baking Soda & Sugar Bait because I didnt have Borax on hand.
I figured if it didnt work, Id buy Borax next time I went to the store.
For that reason, I was patient.
Within a few days, I noticed far fewer ants.
Was the colony collapsing?
I refreshed the bait stations daily and replenished them with fresh bait as needed.
This created an appealing syrupy bait that worker ants flocked to.
I discovered that sugar lures the ants, and the baking soda disrupts their digestive system once consumed.
In fewer than ten days, all the ants were gone!
I thought it was a fluke.
How was it this easy after four years?
I kept waiting for them to return, but they never came back and its been over a month.
ChatGPT was the ultimateexterminator.
Im not sure how much I saved in exterminator fees maybe hundreds?
But I have to say, ChatGPT Vision and Deep Research handled the problem like a pro.
