My home sits on what used to be a cherry orchard, so I have ants. Four years ago, my aunt who has been a country girl her whole life told me to mix boric acid and powdered sugar with a stick (boric acid is toxic so NO silverware), put into old jar lids, place around the outside of the house opposite where the trails are, and just wait. Zillions of ants will be attracted to it, eat it and die! Worked great! I haven't even seen an ant since.
