I appreciate any suggestions.
I have always used Boric Acid. (Borax and Boric Acid are NOT the same.) I buy the bottle with the nozzle, so I can direct it where I want it. Be careful to put it only where pets can't get at it, since it is a poison. (Also wash your hands very well after touching!) Just 1 application, on the path of entry, and in a ring around that point should do it. I have become an ant 'expert' since I bought land for my home, that used to be a Cherry orchard. I also had DH go under the house and spread it, and haven't had an ant since. Good luck.
