[quote:Icey:MV8zOTc4OTQ5XzcxOTgxMzQ4XzYwQzkwOERC] [quote:Ascension Now:MV8zOTc4OTQ5X0IwRDlDNw==] I had ants living under the slab and that is where they wintered over. These are very small ants. Unless the winter is very cold they usually show up in early Feb. I read that you have it kill the queen, and my 42 years of any control, did not do that. I mixed 1/2 cup of sugar with one tablespoon of borax. I sprayed this on a cotton ball and the ants loved it. They take the poison back to the queen ant. In the summer I only found one large group of ants with eggs. I killed them with soapy water. This Feb. I have had no ants come into the house from under the slab. If you have this problem use this method to kill the queen. [/quote] Clean your house, you disgusting pig! [/quote]
