According to an expert on CBC's Radio Noon this week:
The aim is to kill the ants in the nest.
For big ants
- combine Borax + sugar + water to make a paste
- place in drops where you see the ants around the house
For small ants
- combine Borax + oil + water to make a paste
- place in drops where you see the ants around the house - in and out
With this method, the ant ingests the poison, takes it back to the nest, and quickly dies. This poisons the nest and infects the other ants.
Carpenter ants? They didn't mention them.
If you try this, please let me know if it works.
