I had an ant problem a month or so ago, and I dealt with it in a week using this. I made some simple syrup (1:1 sugar and water) with a few strawberries in it (to give it aroma), then thickened it with Clear-Gel, but you could use any cornstarch. I mixed it one to one with some Borax (cleaning supplies section of the grocery store), then half-filled a small mason jar with it. I replaced the flat part of the lid with #8 hardware cloth (you could just punch some 1/8" holes in the lid with a nail - big enough for ants, but too small for bees to get in). I then put it next to ant trail on the ground, half-buried to keep it upright. The ants found it quickly and died. The bees couldn’t get to it. Problem solved!
