Boric acid is best found with cleaning supplies. It is cheaper than when you get it from the pharmacy.
Mix boric acid, sugar and a little cocoa place on waxpaper or paper towel, ants can get to this easy.
Cornmeal is good for amall ants.
The larger black capenter ants come in from the outside. The nest is in the ground or dry decaying wood. Unless you can locate the nest and destroy it, professional help is needed.
