ant bait
2 Tsp Boric Acid
1/4 Cup Hot Water
1 Cup Corn Syrup (light or dark)

bottle caps, jar lids, etc... Place where ants are noticed. Add a few
drops of water daily to keep them moist.
ant bait Mix ingredients thoroughly, mark them POISON, and store them out of
reach of children.
ant bait A good method of putting out the bait is on masking tape. Simply stick
a small piece of masking tape where ants are noticed and spread some
of the bait on the tape. Change the tape every two or three days. Ants
switch foods depending on the amount of developing young in the nest,
so be prepared to switch between a sugar-based bait and a
protein-based bait. Allow up to six weeks for control, although
results are seen in as few as seven days in some instances.
ant bait Another application method is to fill a plastic ketchup bottle with
the bait, label the bottle POISON, and then as needed, cut a drinking
straw into 2-inch pieces, fill with bait and place near ant trails.
* Boric acid powder can be purchased at any drugstore or in
retail centers specifically labeled for ants or cockroaches.
