Control of Ants Bait Formula Warns Homeowners
The Entomological Branch of the Department of Agriculture recommends poison baits to control indoor ants. A suggested mix uses arsenite of soda honey and water in specific ratios, with one teaspoonful or a few wood matches dipped in bait per colony. The bait’s arsenic content per teaspoon is about one sixteenth of a grain. Bait containers must be clearly labeled and handling cautions observed.
