Where can get boric acid , if a pet cat get ahold ant an eat it, could poison cat ?

Boric acid should not harm your cats. Hog slat sells boric acid by 50-55 lb. Bags. Boric acid is a bit expensive but it works.

Buy a box of 20 mule team borax at the grocery store. Mix a spoonful with an equal amount of sugar. Add water to make a paste and put it in a jar lid. It will take care of ants.

I got that stuff here, I give it a try, thanks ! The mule team or generic borax well do them in though ?

Don't got sugar, just flour but borax, I wonder if packets sugar substitute at convience store or drive thru that get for coffee would work instead sugar to draw ants ? Never use sugar at home

Probably should use regular sugar or corn syrup.

A 4 lb bag of sugar is $2.29 here, go buy the sugar. Small price to pay to save your house.

Mix anything sweet with the 20 mule team borax. Got honey? Make a slurry or paste. Kills ants.

I wonder if the termintes said " we'll be back " in a mini Arnold Scharzeneger kind of voice when the left the basement. I just need to know

You can always buy the little miniature leg hold or body grip traps for ants....lol!

Do you skin out the ants antenna's or just break them of before you put them on a board ?

I thought termintes were on the endangered species list.

They usually bring more if you can skin the antenna's out. it is very tedious work. My hands are too big for the tiny knives you need to use. Fleshing is not fun either...LOL!!!!!

So I mix up on jar lid, about teaspoon an half sugar an 1 teaspoon old mule team borax an water an syrup , watch about 50 ants, 1 dead, the rest crawl in an out, a few act funny, well 1 teaspoon of old mule team, about 6 yrs old stores in bag in cellar , strong enough to kill ants ? Does it kill them right away ?

I'm guessing it dosen't kill them immediately Dave. You'll probably notice fewer ants in a few days and then you'll know its working.

Spray them with Fluid Film, that stuff is like Grandma's Watkins Salve.....It will cure anything.

I had ant poison traps in past , very feeble ,Hope works there some huge ants, 2 ones were gone not move in lid, several other act strange, maybe take awhile, but they got go, all sorts in few spots on ceiling

You want the ants to take the borax solution back to there nest and feed it to their queen and young to kill the colony.

Oh that what was up, cause I smash about dz them, few were gone in it an others act funny, must work if borax mix in, I thought see ants carry stuff away it , also hornets outside always problem, wasp spray, see ground nests were bulging up or if not more ants, notice lot by foundation were gas line go meter

What he said.
