Poke 5 holes evenly spaced around the container about one inch from the top using the screwdriver.
Mix 1 cup Borax with 3 cups of sugar (good for about 6 traps). Fill each container halfway. Add water to make it soupy. Add a spoonful of peanut butter, stir. Put lid on.
Set traps. Check back in a few days and you should see results.

I have been having ant problems lately. I think because of all the rain we have had this season - must be short on food, dry ground, etc. Anyway, I hope this works & really appreciate your posting it as it is cheap, items readily available & sounds good! Thanks

Hmm... I think we'll have to try this. Those little commercial ant baits get expensive, and I'm always knocking them off into the dishwater, yuck!
