Ant bait question?
Just wondering....what the bait is that they use in ant traps? (I don't
think this has ever been answered in FAQs.) The ants take the bait back to the nest and this apparently destroys the colony......Pinetree. -- |

Isn't it some sort of poisoned sugar? David. |

Ant bait question?
Yes, and mini cheese works well too
 )Actually, you mix *Borax* with the cheese (oops, I mean sugar). This works. You can also dig them up and feed them to the chickens. But I wondered what the poison was in the shop bought traps. Maybe they just use Borax same as everyone else....Pinetree "David (Normandy)" wrote in message ...
