I got this recipe from here awhile back. Had those tiny little ants in my bathroom. This stuff worked in one day.

1 Tablespoon Hot water mixed with 1 Tablespoon honey. Mix well and add 1/2 teaspoon borax, mix. I put it on a plastic lid and set it on the floor. If the ants die right by the mixture then it's too strong. If they keep coming back after a couple of days it's too weak. So adjust accordingly. You want them to take it back to the nest and feed the queen with it.

No one has said Cinnimon. Get the powder where you see the ants and they split for other places. We have been using it for years. When a new bunch comes in we put out the cinnimon to greet them and they leave. Just sprinkle it where ever the ants are or on the trail they use. Garunteed or your money back.
