Ants -- Showing up inside the house in Feb.
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.

I have used diatomaceous earth to kill ants. Or baby powder sprinkled along the kitchen counter top. The ants disappear.

If you are going to buy something that works similarly, don’t waste your money on anything except Terro Liquid Ant Baits. Its main ingredient is Borax and the ants take it back to the nest where it wipes them all out. After using this two years ago, I still don’t have any more ants in the house.

I guess I made my own poison with borax.

Will DE be taken to the queen ant? Not good to use if you have pets.

Re: Ants -- Showing up inside the house in Feb.
The ants have not surfaced this winter. In the past it has always happened by this time of the month.

My borax/sugar poison killed the ants and the queen so that there will not be anymore after seeing them for 43 years.

I had been unable to kill the queen and killing a lot of the ants did not work.

If you have pets or little kids you have to keep that in mind in using this method.

ants switch diets as the colony goes so they alternate sugars to protein and fats.

putting sugar is okay, but if they are under other diet as proteins your bait won't be very effective.

so feed them and assure you they are taking the sugar or try other.

I put the cotton ball on a small square of aluminum foil and the ants will communicate the location of it. Every day I used a new cotton ball as it dries into a head mass. I noticed fewer ants every day. Taking the poison to the queen was the whole point. I think the ants live only 6-8 weeks. No queen, no eggs, no new ants.

My 42 years of killing the ants never did much as there were always new ones to replace them. I have used chips on the floor and that attracted a lot of ants but then all that I could do was to kill them. Never touched he'd the queen.

Mix up some boric acid and a little sugar to attract them to it...leave in small cups that won't get water in them...they will take it back to the nest.

This combo is sold in squeeze bottles to puff into the cracks of foundations - hold you breath and do not breathe it in...

Harmless to humans and pets

Boric acid at drug store or WalMart in bottles - about $6

Save-a Lot had a big bottle to squeeze mixed with stuff to attract ants for $2.50

I am sure that there are commercial products that will do the same thing. I did not have any or know of any. Whatever works is good.

Maybe amazon has the advion bait.

I use dish soap in water. Just little works but bigger ants or bees needs a stronger concentration. Use a spray bottle. Gas can be fun on ants but more dangerous. Yellow jackets have nests in the ground and I have used gas on them. Do not have to light it and some would object to the fire part.
