Hello there,
This started about 2 or more weeks ago when our bathroom was in a sloppy state. We hadn't done the laundry in a good while, and there were clothes on the floor. Finally, we gathered up all of our clothes, and realized that some teeny tiny brown/yellow ants had been crawling all around underneath.
I've done extensive research to learn about what sort of ants these could be, and I've pinpointed it down to the thief ant (not the pharaoh ant). The ants curl up into little balls when they die.
For the past week, I've set out a protein bait consisting of peanut butter and borax, and the ants are loving it. How long until they start dying off? And does anyone know a good, working ratio for the peanut butter borax combo? I noticed that as the ants eat the bait, the peanut butter becomes more powdery, almost as if they're eating around the Borax granules... am I just imagining that?
Please let me know if you have any advice! I really want them and their little queens dead!!!
