How does one kill crazy ants in a do-it-yourself way? We've put down Boric Acid and flea spray, both of which kill them. But, they keep coming back by the thousands. Any ideas?

Yeah, I know, that’s why I mixed them. I also made sure I was NOT downwind and quickly moved away.

You pour the ammonia in first, since that doesn’t elicit as hostile a reaction from yellowjackets as pouring in the bleach first.

No, it's not dangerous like that at all, it's old fashioned laundry detergent

Borax ...

Go to www.bugspray.com. They have everything. Their bait stations work great!

Put peanut butter in a rat trap and fasten the rat trap down so it can’t jump when tripped. See if that works. If not, get a regular, small leg trap (like you use to catch fox)...a small one and use that. It may be something bigger than a rat. Now that, I could catch.

Find the nest/colony. Do what needs to be done.

Chlordane? DDT?
