Dear John,
A simple ant control is to make a syrup of 1/3 c. sugar to 1 cup
water. Boil to dissolve the sugar. Add 1/4 tsp Boric acid. Put in
shallow container accessible to the ants. They will carry it back to their
nest. Very effective stuff. Since it is poison take precautions to keep
the poison from pets and children.
