The key for us was to not only kill what was already in the house, but to
put a three foot barrier in the ground around the foundation and then hit
the foundation too. That way, once you killed the ones inside the
perimeter, the others could not (did not want to) get in.

I tried rolling my own with the boric acid and honey. It swarmed them good,
they disappeared for a few days, my concoction turned to a hardened crust
and I got annoyed. Right now, Terro brand is working for the two sweet
eating ant varieties around me. Occasionally one variant of a biting ant
gets at it and they too disappear for a while. The real fireant is a RPITA.
There is a brand of Ortho that is a stinky white power that seems to work
fast. I cannot store it in the garage and it is relagated to hidden corner
of the front porch.
The boric acid worked well for the roaches I had when I first moved in. I
still have boric powder behind the dishwasher.

Subject: [Shop-talk] ZEP ant baits
Anyone know where to buy ZEP brand ant
baits? I'm pretty sure I got them at
Home Depot last time, but they don't
seem to carry them any more. And they
are far more effective with the ants we
have here than any other brand I've
tried.
I'm also curious if anyone has
tried "rolling their own" using sugar and boric acid or any other recipes.
