- -> I have heard something about getting rid of ants by placing small
- -> cups of sugar and boric acid near their trails. Does this work and
- -> what proportions should be used? Is it intended to kill them outright
- -> or have them take it back to the nest? Should it be dissolved in
- -> water or left as powder?

- I would place boric acid in a THIN FILM where you expect them to walk.
- If left in a pile, they will walk around it.
