Nah, the real kick is when they bring the slightly toxic sugar back to the queen, then she eats a lot of it.. eventually the army disbands, it's numbers decimated. They'll be back though, they follow their scents like mice do, back to the good stuff.
If they're the big ants, check the wood under and outside your house for damage... after a while, the termites follow O_O Also weird, ants are attracted to dead stink bugs.

Yup, that's the trick. I use 10 Mule Team (I think) laundry booster, same thing as borax. I mix it with powdered sugar 1:10 or so, so they can't distinguish it from the other stuff. Must kill the Borg queen!
Only wish honey had more honey in it... it's kind of a dead giveaway since the ones you buy from the store, have an expiration date :| I hate cut product.

Yeah I'm not sure about the 1:1 ratio I used, they seem to be crawling over the sugar and going for the honey smeared on the sides instead. Then again I gave it a good shake so there should be some borax coating the honey too. There's about 50 ants in and around the trap now!
I thought about getting some organic raw honey once but it's really expensive :(
