Years ago, I had good results with liquid ant bait from www.gardensalive.com
but this year, there are much smaller ants. And less interested in the blue
liquid. Not sure what to do.



I haven't seen Terro brand in quite a while, but have gotten the same
sort of product at HD, very small
bottle. Is is basic sugar and boric acid. For grease-eating ants, my
bottles suggests adding a drop of
cooking oil to the drop of bait. A drop of bait on a nice buttery
cookie crumb works fine. Tastes vary - I
think the adults avoid sugar but the kids go for it ) Really.
