Commercial products using boric acid are of a thick consistency, like honey.
The idea is to let as many ants as possible eat the product and return to
the nest with the poison, thus killing the queen.

The way I've prepared it is to make a saturated solution of boric acid in
water, and then add sufficient syrup (corn starch helps too) to yield a nice
thick goop.

They love it to death.
