=============
In case someone tries to mix up a batch themselves, Terro is better
described as Borax in a sugar solution[1].
Borax is the trade name of a salt of boric acid.
I've been using a mixture of Borax and honey to keep the ants at bay
for a few years. Use the search engine of your choice to search for
Borax and ants. You'll find a plethora of recipes.
