First time was in the kitchen and I put a dry powdered sugar / borax mix under the dishwasher near where ants were getting in the house. It worked well after a few days. The second time a few months later ants were coming from near the front door. I put down a liquid sugar mix on cotton balls and worked better and faster in just two days. This third time, ants are coming from the family room near the kitchen. My guess is one colony dies but another tries the house after some time. This problem started in 2019-20 when we had an overly rainy season. 10+ years in this house and the ant problems are recent. Still highly recommended).
Highly recommended to get rid of ants for at least a few days. I'm still waiting to see if they come back (3/12/21 update - they don't come back. I had ants return but after several months and from a different area of the house).
What worked: I put down a paper plate (edges cut off so the plate was mostly flat to the floor) with 3 parts powered sugar (about 1/4 cup) and 1 part borax. Dry, no water. I put the plate down under the dishwasher where the ants seemed to be coming from. The ants were crawling all over the dry powdered sugar mix for two days.
What also worked: On the second day of bait I put down cotton balls on a paper plate with edges cut off and the cotton balls were soaked with 4 parts granulated sugar (about 1/4 cup) and 1 part borax dissolved in some water.
The recipes on the web had way too much water. It only takes a little water to dissolve everything so you wind up with a thin, watery paste instead of soup. I only watched the first ant on the cotton ball and for one minute the ants seemed to be kissing the cotton ball. I think it was drinking the sugar water but whatever it was doing it seemed happy. The ant did not move at all for at least a minute. I never looked again to see how much the ants swarmed the cotton balls vs the dry powdered sugar but they did swarm both dry and liquid mixtures and after a few days never returned.
What didn't work: Dry granular sugar and borax. I put that down on bait day number two and the ants didn't go for it at all. I dissolved that mix in some warm water and did the cotton ball thing above.
Background: I had a mini invasion of ants and some ants eventually found crumbs behind the kitchen trash can. In over a decade this was only the second time we had ants in the house.
The first day we killed 30 ants by hand and the second day we killed 50. That second day we realized the ants found the crumbs behind the trash can. Despite sweeping up the crumbs from all over the kitchen the ants kept coming back. The third day we killed 120 ants and the day after, 250. By then the ants were searching for other places for food and were crawling up walls including up and on the kitchen island which they hadn't done in the past few days.
That fourth day the exterminator put spray and granules down around the perimeter of the house. Before the exterminator came I had seen where the ants were coming in the house. They had a 15' highway along the basement wall and then up a corner underneath the siding to somewhere in the kitchen. Two hours after the exterminator left the ants were still on their highway, going back and forth like nothing was bothering them. I decided to hit their highway with siding mold cleaner (a bleach solution) which stopped them for 3 days but then they started coming back.
I decided to go with the sugar-borax mix based on a recommendation from a coworker. With the sugar-borax mix down the ants stopped wandering all over the kitchen and stayed within a foot or so of the mix. After three day on the mix the ants were completely gone.
I could go on, but...
Well, I hadn't intended to write a commercial, I haven't been compensated or been given discounts or free samples of anything from anyone--but when I received an nice email from the Millard family thanking me for trying their product and asking if I'd give an honest review, I felt moved to do so. In fact, if subscribe- and - save is an option, I'm going to sign up! The money I'll save in the long run will more than pay the bill. :)
