Ants, I had them in my office and the kitchen. They just won't leave you alone. So I thought I would pass on this simple way to actually kill a colony with out lots of pesticides. Just mix some good old borax laundry soap with sugar and water and make a slurry out of it. The ants eat the sugar and borax and also carry back some to the colony. When an ant eats borax crystals, it is like us eating glass shards. It cuts them up inside and kills them. They also feed this stuff to the queen and it kills her. When she dies, the colony dies. Very simple and effective.
