Yes, Borax it was. Here are some other natural remedies. But I still have ants in the kitchen. I think my problem is that their trail to get to my kitchen is so long that any bait I set kills the workers before they make it back to feed the queen.

Ant sand is chlorpyrifos and binder. I suggest you have a good shower. It's bad stuff!
