Ingredients
Melt one generous tablespoon of honey or corn syrup, add a teaspoon of Borax powder, and stir until the Borax is dissolved.
Preparation
Cut a small circle (2") out of the lid of a cottage cheese container or out of the lid of a small yogurt container. Put a teaspoon full of the mix on the lid and set it on your counter where the ants run. Within 20 minutes you will have a circle of ants surrounding the "banquet." They take it back to their nest to feed it to the larvae. Both ants and larvae will die. You may have to repeat once or even twice, depending on how large the nest is, but they will be gone. I use Borax as a laundry booster, so a teaspoon-full does not even cost a penny. And 1-1/2 to 2 tablespoons full of honey or syrup doesn't cost more than 10 cents.
