Diana,

I don't know about the "crazy ants" you have but I got rid of some carpenter
ants awhile back by misting them with water, then sprinkling them with 20
Mule Team Borax. When they go back to the nest the other ants clean them up
and ingest the borax. I read somewhere it reacts with the acid in their
stomachs, creates gas, and the "stomach or intestines" explodes. Ants, I
guess, can't burp.

I think Ray ( www.firstrays.com ) has a recipe for ant pellets
made of candle wax and borax. Someone else was using it as a
power line to keep them out.
