I am listening to a radio station that has the garderner show on sunday morning. 1 litre of water, 70 tbsp boric acid, 1 cup sugar. mix it all together. get a plastic container punch holes in the container ( big enough for the ants to get in) put cotton balls, wet the cotton balls with solution, keep the cotton balls moist, be sure to check it often, then 2 weeks later, make the solution using 1/2 of the boric acid (35) Hope this helps the ones with the ants problem Marie and 6 Kidlets [Posted in FML issue 2746]
