I got a bit careless with handling of sweet foods, eventually I got an ant infestation. At first I thought it was the normal black ants (i.e. sugar ants), and got the powder ant bait from Lazada.

First time I tabur the bait, hundreds of ants died. But they were still there, in far smaller amounts, a few days later. Used the bait again, even more died.

I used the bait again the third time, no more ants died. Safe to say, my kitchen and other areas of my house (they spread to dining, hall and also my study room) no longer have the black ant issue. Learnt my mistake.

However, now, the kitchen is kept very clean, dustbin emptied every day, no sisa sisa left...and I have a different ant issue. These are the "ghost ants", with a dark brown head and whitish body. They do not react to the powder bait at all.

Worse still they come from under sink cabinet to one of the wall sockets at the other side of the kitchen countertop. They don't seem to be attacking any food stuff. Have verified these are no termites.

Anyone got deal with these? I read online can use borax + sugar water solution, but I'm not sure where to get borax (powder form) in Malaysia.

Appreciate any help you have with this.

Can share which one?

Can share which is it pls

I used powder bait with Fipronil, but it only seemed to work on the black sugar ants, not the whitish ghost ants.

Any solution for Ghost Ants specifically?

If I buy the powder ant baits from Lazada, am I supposed to use them as is (in powder form), or mix with sugar (powder form), or mix with sugar solution (liquid form), or even honey? A bit confused on the correct application.
