Attack spider?

Boric acid powder is supposed to work on ants I think. They track it back to their nest where it kills them. Just going from memory, so read up on it.

I believe my brother tried boric acid last year for an extended period. The ants marched right on. These ants are in the home of my 90 year old mother who's an invalid. My brother lives with her, so he calls the shots.

The spider is back. I don't see any exoskeletons in the web but the ant parade has continued to deminish. Time will tell whether they return. For now, I'm protecting the spider.

Maybe try diatomaceous earth. I put a tablespoon or so in the cut-off bottom of a solo cup with a drop of honey in the middle as an attractant. Supposedly kills anything with an exoskeleton, but harmless (even beneficial) to mammals. It cut WAY down on our ladybug problem.

Sometimes I get tiny ants in the kitchen looking for food. I spray around the foundation and back door (outside) with malathion. Knocks them right out. I mix up a gallon in my pump up sprayer. Costs very little.
