Ant control tips from Delaware Entomology for Pharohs ants
The Delaware University Entomology Department suggests inexpensive bait mixtures to halt Pharoh's ants raiding kitchens. One bait uses sugar water arsenate of lead with honey to attract ants, placed in protected containers to avoid children or pets. A second bait combines tartar emetic with syrup for comparison. Multiple small bait boxes improve results. If outdoor nests are found, drilling soil holes and pouring carbon bisulfide or kerosene can destroy colonies.
