6/17/24: I also use the powdered sugar and baking soda method, but for an extra-added keep-these-ants-away-from-my-home concoction, I use Borax or Boric Acid with the sugar and soda, whichever of the two I have on hand. If you don't have Borax or Boric Acid, it's cool, it'll still work. Nevertheless, I make a large batch of equal parts (for me, 2 cups of each) of the three in a designated bowl and then I mix well and distribute two tablespoons in some inexpensive cupcake papers I get from the Dollar Tree store and place them around my home everywhere, especially in my kitchen and in corners of my bathrooms, living room, just everywhere! If you have any cracks around your home, pour some into it as well. The ants will carry it back to their colony and explode! Sounds terrible, but I gotta do what I gotta do to free my home of them little critters. If I have some left over, I spoon it into a Mason jar, covered and mark it "For Ants" and the date. I've been doing this since 2022 and every time Summer comes around, the ants get busy and SO DO I 'cause this stuff WORKS!
