Do you know if I just buy ammonia and mix it at the correct percentage that
it will still kill ants without staining my carpets blue?

What percentage of ammonia would you use?
Do you know HOW ammonia kills the ants?

It doesn't at my house.

Is there a better way to kill an ant infestation?

Terro bait stations work wonders, but are expensive. Ortho Home Defense
spray is excellent -- water-based, odorless.

Expensive?

That's enough to keep your house ant free for many, many years.

I've only seen it in little trays that look kind of like
cheez-n-crackers packs for maybe a buck each. I tried mixing borax with
corn syrup, but it didn't work. Little *******s clearly know the
difference.

For instant gratification, you can't beat Home Defense. Well, you can,
but Raid stinks.
