Any tricks or ideas from you folks?
We deal ants all most every year and put borax mixed well with honey on a piece of aluminum foil and place the entire along the line where the ants are tracking in. One only needs about 2 table spoons worth on concoction for this to work. Don’t let your pets near the stuff and don’t put it where it rains. 3 days later the ants will have fed on it and taken all that is needed back to their nest to kill the entire Colony. Done for the year. All gone. Never tried this with red ants so don’t know if it works with them.
