I have had good success using half powered sugar and either baking soda or boric acid. I usually look for a stream of ants on my irrigation lines and put those ingredients in their way. It is amazing watching them get excited with their new find and running around telling others about it! DE earth is on the expensive side. I guess I could add the DE earth to my mix. I don't get ant hill either! Thanks for the info!
From my experience at least carpenter ants don't seem to cause to much issues it's the smsller ones they milk aphids, pretty sure the carpenters would jurt eat thrm.
Had to use the old Google machine but it seems carpenter ants farm aphids too but seem to be more of a menace to wooden structures. Thank you for the comment!

Yes powdered sugar will work well for that. Thanks for the comment!
❤ Gonna order a BULK of corn meal now (and storing in buckets.) New home owner, with ants roaming around everywhere they do not belong.😩
i hope the cornmeal works for you. the bottles i show in the video may do you well also is they are more local to an area.
