I found thousands of small ants on every kernel of corn in my raised box bed. I mixed a a tablespoon of borax and 12 cup sugar to a small pickle jar and added water shake well. They were crawling all over my front of house along the easement I tried this and bam they pests are gone. I don’t believe the borax will hurt the corn it just started popping up. But if so it’s still early to start a new batch. I put it on my other plants last year and they were okay. Just don’t do it in the heat wait till early morning or evening the sugar water might burn the leaves of tender plants.
1/2 or 1 tablespoons Laundry Borax
1/2 cup sugar
To 1/2 gallon water
Put a lid on container
And shake the poop out of it. It helps to use hot water to get things to dissolve better but the borax won’t dissolve just shake before you use. Also dip cotton balls in solution leave near the nest holes they will eat it and bring it back to the best bye bye ants. You can also use indoor areas of the house where you have ants . Just leave the cotton balls around they will scope them out and die a day later . Leave the balls for a few days . You can set on jar lids or something so they don’t stick to the counter or floor . Hope this helps. Good luck
