My recipe FWIW:

2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon borax
hot water to make a thin syrup (probably about a tablespoon)
stir until all dissolved

Place in a small pot-saucer or shallow dish near the ants nest, and
cover with an earthenware flowerpot to keep other interested parties
away (a plastic one would do, but needs weighting)

Contains at least three chemicals, all natural products and including
one of which is harmful to ants at least.

That's very helpful. Thank you Chris.
Where do you buy borax?
Last time I tried to buy borax (I think for some cleaning process
recommended on How Clean is your House!) I could not get it. Tried our
local Handyman shop, they sent me to Boots, Boots told me to try the
Handyman's etc. I never did get it.
