Hello. For ants take 1 cup of water and add 1 tablespoon of borax (you'll find it in the laundry isle) and 3 tablespoons of sugar or honey. Mix and put in small plastic containers like a small sour cream container with lid and holes big enough to let the ants in and out. Rip some small pieces of bread and put in the containers. The bread pieces should be soaked and there should be a bit of liquid in the bottom. The mature ants will eat the bread and then take the liquid back to the nest and the young and the queen will get the liquid to eat. Takes about a week for it to work but they will find it if you put it close. Almost non toxic to people and pets but deadly to ants. Chuck.
