You can make your own Terro by dissolving a cup of 20 mule Team Borax into two cups of Corn Syrup on the stove. Add a little water to aid the dissolving.

Then what do I do with it? Just put it around on the floor, cabinets etc? Sounds sticky.
I usually put several drops of Terro, spaced maybe a 1/2 inch apart, on small pieces of cardboard, say 1/4 the size of a 3×5 index card. Then I place the cardboard pieces in the areas where I’ve seen the ants. Then I see the ants come to the Terro, eat, leave and never come back.
I’m thinking there should be a more comprehensive study of pesticides regarding this problem. Nature abhors a vacuum, or maybe more correctly an imbalance, and if these critters have a natural predator, it’s being suppressed in the urban environment.
Or anteaters should become the next big pet craze.

Just persuade them that your life is no picnic.
