I found these little shits crawling in my bathroom and kitchen. they seem to like the inside of cardboard tubes like in the cling wrap packaging. I put out a mix of Borax and peanut butter and after a few hours they were swarming it like crazy, but now they barely touch it. they just walk by it without touching it. How do I kill the little fucks ?

1. Don't leave food or dirty dishes laying around. These ants love people food, especially sugary stuff.
2. Go to the hardware store and get some ant bait. Put some drops around where you see the ants. Its like a sugary gel that will stick to most surfaces. Ants bring it back to the queen and the whole colony dies. It takes a few days to kill the colony, or longer if you have multiple colonies.

Buy a box or two of these and toss them in areas where you see the ants most often.

I used to have ant problems every summer in Australia. We have dogs so we tend to avoid any harmful chemicals. Bait stations didn't work very well, there was a reduction but they were expensive and never completely solved the problem.
The best way we found was to mix up some thick, sticky sugar syrup and leave it near their entry point. Leave them alone and replace it when it dries up. All the sugar will make the ants fat, lazy and sterile, so they will naturally die off. I'm just starting to have them come back again, but it's been about 4 years since I've last done the sugar syrup and I constantly leave attractive things around for them (food scraps, empty Coke and beer cans etc). Your mileage may vary as they are different ants, but well worth a try.

fun fact, ants don't eat the food they find, they can only eat the shit from the grubs back in their hive. They take your poisoned bait back home and feed it to the babies who shit and die, then they eat the poisoned shit and die themselves.
