    When you see ants, soak a cotton ball in the following solution and place beside every ant hill you see.

    To keep away from children and pets, you can put the cotton ball in a used lidded plastic container like a margarine tub with 2 or 3 ant sized holes poked around the bottom. Set the container beside the ant hill.


    Ant Bait Solution

    1 1/2 Cups warm water

    1 1/2 TBSP Borax (make sure it's Borax)

    mix until dissolved

    add

    1/2 Cup Sugar

    mix until dissolved.

    Store in airtight container.

    THIS IS TOXIC TO HUMANS AND PETS

    Command makes a new ant trap that contains something that when an ant eats it, and returns to the colony.... it kills the whole colony.

    Hello Shupe; I move entire ant colonies, but using grits. Simply sprinkle dry grits all over the any hills. If it rains, please add more grits.

    The grits kills the ants, and they move their hills quickly!!!

    I hope that this helps you!!! Take Care!
