Default Black Ant Problem

On Mon 25 Aug 2008 10:40:54p, RVer Don told us...

4 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of water, 1 teaspoon of boric acid

or
boraxo.

Don


I had read somewhere that one could make a solution of water, sugar, and
borax (boric acid?), which was an effective poison for ants. The

problem
is that I don't know the proportions that should be used.

Can anyone here help with this? Are there other homemade options that I
don't know about? We're trying to steer clear of commercial products,

and
also stay as "green" as possible.

Thanks, Don. This is exactly what I wanted to know!
