ANT BAIT
Try a homemade bait
mixture of about one part boric acid (or borax)
and two parts mint
jelly or cracker crumbs. Place the bait in a
container with ant-sized
holes in the lid. Place in a location away from
children and pets,
and dispose of the container after use.
Although boric acid
is a common ingredient in eye washes,
it may be harmful
if swallowed.
