Ingredients:  
1/2 cup of sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons Borax (find Borax in detergent aisle)
1 1/2 cups warm water
Cotton balls or paper towel
Directions:
Directions:
1. Mix the Borax and sugar together until well combined.

2. Add the mixture to your warm water and mix constantly until the powder has been completely dissolved.

3. Seal the mixture in a jar or container for future use, and use only what you need in the next steps (and save the rest). It is important that you clearly label the jar, as it will just look like water. Do not leave this where children can get to it.

4. Fill some jar lids, milk caps, or other shallow containers with cotton balls or a wad of paper towel.

5. Add the sugar-Borax solution to the prepared lids making sure to soak the cotton balls (or paper towel).

6. Wait. It may take the ants a while to find the solution. But, once they do, let them feast (and take the solution back to their home).

Personal Notes:
It works! I do this a few times each year & the ants stay away.
