The instructions are quite humorous and they do make quite a lot of sense. Borax and honey syrup are the main ingredients to the bait, and as I swear by Borax for fleas, it makes sense this would work well for other exoskeleton beasties too.

Other resources for getting rid of household ants include:

Hope the above is useful!

Enjoy,
