During the spring I have a small ant problem. It’s actually a small problem with very tiny ants. I use an organic mix to rid the little dears.

A one to one mixture of Borax and Diatomaceous Earth. Sprinkle on the trails. Diatomaceous earth literally gets under their ‘skin’ and shreds them from the inside. I can’t remember why we add the Borax but it works.
