Mix borax, sugar, and peanut butter in roughly equal amounts, until it is about the texture of cornmeal. Leave it in a shallow container near the place they are coming in, or anywhere along their path. Once they find it, they will all come out to get some, and take it back to the babies. Don't kill them, let them take it to the nest. Make more every few days or if gets packed down. After about a week they will be gone for good.
