Polly Andrews on May 01, 2015Mix: 1/4 cup borax, 1/4 cup sugar with 1 cup hot water Soak cotton balls in mixture and place in vicinity where the ants are. They will converge on the cotton balls like crazy. Then, in a couple days will be completely gone. They carry the mixture back to the nest so it kills the whole colony. It works - I tried it and it's amazing.Helpful Reply
