Just wanted to say that the post going around FB showing how to get rid of those Jurassic Park black ants is truthful. I had tried mixing borax with grape jelly, but that didn't work too well. So...I cut the FB recipe by 2/3 and those black ants are GONE. Just put out a banquet for them with this recipe two days ago. The first day looked like a miniature parade with all those black ants coming and going. Next day they are GONE. I used 20 Mule Team Borax instead of pharmaceutical boric acid. 20 Mule Team is 99.5% pure borax. You can also use Roach Prufe. It is 98.0% borax. Anyway...the recipe works. Now let's see how long before those ants invade again... We don't have fire ants here in this part of Virginia, but I wonder if it would work on them or those "crazy" ants?

So, what's the recipe ??
Get Rid of Ants Solution
This is a recipe for getting rid of those pesky ants that come every spring and summer. Mix up the solution, pack cotton balls in a ja...r cover, put the solution on and they will be gone.
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons boric acid
3 cups warm water
Directions:
1. Mix the sugar and boric acid well.
2. Add the warm water slowly, mixing all the while so it won't be too lumpy.
3. Store in a jar until ready to use.
4. When ready to use, put cotton into the top of a jar lid to fill it and then saturate the cotton to the top.
5. Place it in the location where it is needed.
6. Note: This solution will keep for a long while. A good technique is to drip a drop or two over the edge of the lid to rest on the counter so the ants will find the solution sooner. It sometimes takes a little while for them to find it, but find it they will. When they do, do not disturb them as they drink. They will hang over the edge of the lid and drink for a while and then take it back to the nest killing the colony. Almost overnight they will be gone.
