Once they find it, they bring bits of it back to the nest and within a couple of days or so, no more ants.
I've tried to do that, but I'm too impatient to wait for them to bring the borax mixture back to their nest. I find it too unnerving to let them wander about while I'm around. I end up windexing them, then caulking every entry point I can find.
