some cleanser with sugar and put it out by the ants. I read where that

curious to why you want to mix up a concoction for them and not just
use something designed and tested to rid them. The baits will be
probably less toxic than the cleanser you will use and since you will
be using a cleanser, being a man made product mustn't be an issue.


You need to use Borax, boric acid, to be effective. Just any "cleanser"
will not do.
