Roll it in to small marble
Application method
Place these marbles in the trail of ants up to its colony. About 4-5 marbles
How it works
Sugar is the lure. Ants will pick the dough from marbles and take them to their colony. Entire colony consumes this feed. Boric acid is hygroscopic. It swells up inside the ants by dehydrating them
The entire colony (almost) will collapse in 1 or 2 applications. Repeat this for all colonies to get rid of them from your garden. As a preventive measure, at the first sight of ants, follow this procedure.
