කැරපොත්තව මරද්දි සම්පූර්ණ මරන්න එපා. ලාවට කකුල් හොලවන ගාණට තියන්න ඕන. අනිත් පැත්ත හරවලා බඩ උඩට බෝරික් අැසිඩ් කුඩු දාල තිබ්බම හරි. විනාඩි පහෙන් වේස කූඹි එනවා. කැරපොත්තා දඟල දඟල ඉද්දි වැඩේ සෑහෙන්න ඉක්මන්.
ඊට පස්සෙ වේස කූඹි බෝරික් අැසිඩ් පවුඩර් උඩ අැවිදලා, එ්වා උන්ගෙ කකුල්වල ගා ගන්නවා විතරක් නෙවෙයි, බෝරික් අැසිඩ් එක්කම කැරපොත්තාව උන්ගෙ ගුලට අැදගෙන යනවා. එ්කව ගුලේ ඉන්න වේස කූඹි විතරක් නෙවෙයි, උන්ගෙ මහ එකීත් කනවා. එ්කි මුළු ගුලටම බෝ කරනවා. කකුල්වල ගෑවිච්ච පවුඩර් ටික පිරිසිදු කරද්දිත් උන්ටම කැවෙනවා.
දවස් දෙක තුනක් යද්දි පළාතෙම කූඹි ටික ඉවරයි. ඉඳල හිටල කැරපොත්තෙක් දැක්ක ගමන් නිකම්ම මරන් නැතිව මේ වැඩේ කරාම අායෙ කූඹියෙක් දකින්ඩවත් ඉතිරි වෙන් නෑ.
සීනි, කෑම බීමවලට කූඹි එන නිසා වතුර භාජන තිය තිය නහිනවට වඩා අති සාර්ථකයි. කරලම බලහන්. බෝරික් අැසිඩ් ඕනම ෆාමසියක, ගොඩක් සුපර්මාර්කට් වල පවා තියෙනවා. රුපියල් 80 ක් විතර වෙන්නෙ. අතිශයින්ම සාර්ථකයි.
කරල බලල හොඳ නරක කියපන්.
Yes, despite the gruesome and darkly humorous way the post is written, **the underlying science behind this method is actually true.**
Here is a breakdown of what the post says, followed by why the science behind it works.
### **What the Post is Saying**
The Sinhala text is a very colloquial, slightly vulgar, and darkly comedic guide to getting rid of nuisance ants (which the author colorfully refers to as "whore ants").
The author suggests a "High IQ" method:
1. Catch a cockroach and **half-kill it** so that its legs are still twitching.
2. Turn it on its back and sprinkle **Boric Acid powder** onto its belly.
3. The twitching cockroach will quickly attract the ants.
4. The ants will walk over the Boric Acid, getting it on their legs, and will also drag the poisoned cockroach back to their nest to feed the colony and the queen.
5. When the ants groom themselves to clean the powder off their legs, they will ingest the acid.
6. Within two to three days, the entire ant colony will be wiped out from the inside.
### **Why This Actually Works (The Science)**
The author of the post clearly understands how ant colonies and insecticides function. Here is why this brutal method is highly effective:
* **The Bait (Protein):** Ants are scavengers. While many ants love sugar, they also desperately need protein and fat to feed their larvae and the queen. A dead or dying insect (like a cockroach) is an absolute feast for them. The twitching of a dying insect can indeed help ants locate it faster.
* **The Poison (Boric Acid):** Boric acid is one of the most effective DIY ant killers in the world. It works as a stomach poison that disrupts the ant's metabolism and digestive system. It also acts as an abrasive, damaging their exoskeletons.
* **The Delivery System (Grooming):** The post accurately notes that ants will get the powder on their legs. Ants are fastidious groomers; they constantly clean their legs and antennae with their mouths. By doing this, they end up eating the Boric Acid.
* **The "Trojan Horse" Effect:** The secret to wiping out an ant colony is using a **slow-acting poison**. If a poison kills ants instantly, they will die before returning to the nest, and the queen will just lay more eggs. Because Boric Acid takes a few days to kill them, the worker ants have plenty of time to carry the poisoned cockroach meat back to the nest, feed it to the larvae, and feed it to the queen. Once the queen dies, the colony collapses.
