Ants won't eat my Raid bait

I was simply trying to provide a source of information I read from an article, not trying to be an expert.

I have found the liquid to be best. i did not even apply it on the cardboard they provide. I applied it where the ants traveled - in the cracks, corners or wherever. Sure enough, they disappeared.

Not intending to criticize anyone in the forum and I apologize if anyone took offense at my posting. Aspartame, it seems, to have been discovered a result of the research in developing an anti-ulcer drug. And seems to be one of the most thoroughly evaluated food additives and is approved in more than 90 countries.

Wow !! This has gotten way off the subject for ant control.

Have you tried purple Kool-aid?

This is what I use. At one time had Ants crawling outside the house, some inside at times. Sprayed it once and they disappeared.

I read and have used powder, straight dollar store talcum/ baby powder. Worked at my dads house where they were crawling in between the brick and siding getting into the basement and then I used it around our kitchen since it was not poisonous I did not have to worry about food, dishes and dogs getting into it.
