be deployed immediately! Thanks!

In exchange, I'll share my tip for any of the little buggers that actually make it into the house:

Mix Borax and powdered sugar 1-to-1. Take an old cream cheese tub (cleaned, of course) or similar and poke a lot of holes in the top (a heated nail works great for this). Place the Borax-sugar in the tub, put on the holey lid and place it in the path of the ants. They are attracted to and eat the sugar and they take it, along with the lethal Borax, back to their nest.
