Here's a recipe I have used successfully.  You just need to be a little patient.  It should be used in an area where your animals (or children) can't eat it, since it will give them heartburn too:  3 1/2 ounces of strawberry jam (or any sweet jam), 1 1/2 tablespoons of wet, canned cheap cat food, 1 Tablespoon of boric acid.


    Mix together and put little balls around the ant trails.   Good luck!

Scattering cloves in areas prone to ant infestation will repel them.
