Boric acid bait to kill ants in your tortoise enclosure

Note: wear gloves and do not breathe the powder during the preparation of the bait.

• One half-cup (350 grams) boric acid - looks like white powder and is available in pharmacies
• one cup flour
• two heaping spoonfuls of sugar
• water

1. Mix boric acid, flour, and sugar.
2. Moisten with just enough water to make a paste that can be formed into small cylinders or balls.
3. Make as many of them as you can. 
4. Distribute them in critical concealed places.
