    Yes ..put some Golden Syrup down on saucers, and spread it around all over it. They love that and you will be surprised how that attracts them and they cannot get off it. After a few nights with this remedy you will find they have gone. I tried it out a few years ago and it worked. I do not have them now.

    You can buy ant stakes and place them around the outside of your house and then you will never have ants. Just wipe the ants you find in your house away with a wet rag. After that you should not have any more. The ant stakes really work.

    I cleaned up very well and put borax (found in the laundry aisle at the grocery store) in the areas where they where. I then put that in the garage at the doorways, and by the garbage areas. After a couple of days, they were gone and I could sweep up the borax. I keep the borax in the garage as a barrier and near the garbage now as a deoderizer.

    We used ANT KILLER by TERRO, it’s a liquid, a few drops in few spaces, 2 days the ants were gone. We found it at Menard’s.

    Find out how the ants are entering the house and where the nest is located. If the nest is located in the house, it can be destroyed. Boric acid is poisonous to ants acting on their exoskeleton, and is not harmful to human beings. However, boric acid should not be inhaled by human beings.
