Any tricks or ideas from you folks?
I find Terro works best. You can get the enclosed ones where you break off the end so the ants can crawl in and get the sweet poison, OR get the bottle and cut up a piece of cardboard (the box it came in works), place it near where you see the ants and place a few drops on top of the cardboard. Once one ant finds it, they all seem to go and touch it. They then bring it back to the nest. I find this, Terro, works best.
