I've found making my own mixtures of boric acid for ants didn't work well. I read there's two basic ant types - sugar lovers and protein lovers. So I tried a mix with peanut butter. And I tried a mix with honey. And I tried a mix with both.

The ants would happily eat either peanut butter or honey by itself. But they avoided the mixtures. I did spend a couple of days trying different strengths until I ran out of boric acid.

Then I gave up and bought a tiny dropper bottle of ant poison. Put a single drop on each ant trail I could see (around 5 drops total). Two days later, I didn't have an ant issue anymore.
