I believe it was in an old newsletter here that I had read something about how you can get rid of ants by putting something out for them that they will eat and that will then swell in their stomach and cause them to explode.

We have big black ants here in Washington, and they come in our house every year in early summer/late spring, and I am tired of them!

I'm pretty sure that boric acid works that way. You can buy plain boric acid in the pesticide section of the store, and I think it is a main ingredient in 20 Mule Team Borax, too.

It's yeast. Take pieces of cardboard - spread something sticky on it, like molasses. Then sprinkle dry yeast on it. More importantly try to find their home and sprinkle it there.
