Brilio.net - As a food ingredient rich in carbohydrates, rice plays an important role in daily nutritional intake. Therefore, many people store or stock rice in large quantities. Some even buy rice directly in sacks as stock at home.
However, it is not uncommon for rice stored at home to be visited by ants. The presence of these ants is not only annoying, but also makes rice difficult to process and consume. Ants that enter the rice storage area are usually attracted by the aroma and nutritional content of the rice.
This problem can be worse if the storage place is not airtight or if there are gaps that allow ants to enter. When ants have invaded the rice, the process of cleaning it will be a troublesome task. In addition, ants that mix with rice can affect the taste and cleanliness of the rice produced, thus reducing the quality of the dish.
Basically, there are a number of tricks that can be done to repel ants from rice. A YouTube user hillybilly99999 once shared the trick to repel ants through one of the videos uploaded. He admitted that he only used a simple technique to eradicate ants from rice so that it was suitable for consumption again.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube hillybilly99999 on Wednesday (8/21), the first thing to do is to move the rice to a container or basin. After that, prepare a tray or wide base. Now, make sure the width of the base is larger than the rice container used.

After that, place a bowl of rice on the tray. Then pour water into the tray until the entire bottom of the bowl is submerged. If so, let it sit for a few minutes. This will make the ants that enter the rice, come out and drown in the puddle of water on the tray.

The longer this trick is used, the cleaner the rice will be because the ants inside will run away and just go away. In the video, the YouTube user explains more about the performance of water in the tray when used to eradicate ants. This started when a netizen asked in the comments column.
"but Why they want escape? If you put Water than they not Stay inside in Rice????? Why they jump on Water instead of Stay on Rice??," asked YouTube account @HarshKumar-xt6xn.
