Summary: Enough to kill an army of ants!
Comment: I love this product, it works, its simple... Life goes on.
Seriously though I hate ants and when hundreds appeared in my bathroom and kitchen I had to take action. I started with those off-the-shelf ant baits using some active ingredient that I had never heard of. Not many ants fell for it, I assume those that did were the stupid ants. Then a friend on Twitter recommended the Terro liquid. From the moment I put those little pieces of paper with some Terro down in the bathroom and the kitchen the ants couldn't get enough... At least until they were all dead.
I have a ton left too, if they are dumb enough to come back.

Summary: Other ant baits may work, but ants will actually eat Terro
Comment: Such a simple ant bait, but by liberty of being a liquid that you drop onto pieces of paper, it's much easier for the ants to find, and they LOVE this stuff. I've tried other ant baits, but they never seem to work. I'm sure that poison is poison, but if the ants have to leave their trail and go into a complicated trap in order to get the bait, more often than not they won't bother. In contrast, you can place Terro right onto the trail, and the ants will find it immediately and you can watch them swarm around the drop and start to eat.
The only drawback is that the ants will increase in number temporarily, coming in droves to eat the bait, but honestly, that's the only way to make sure you get them all. Spraying them with Raid is immediate gratification, but you only kill some workers and there's always more to replace them. I'd recommend placing Terro indoors someplace like a bathroom where ants would only be a nuisance, not in a kitchen where they might get distracted and go after your food instead. Plus, Terro is a poison and it wouldn't really be a good idea in the first place.

Summary: Use aluminum foil squares with the Terro
Comment: I've tried those little cans of ant poison, but my ants just laugh at them and keep on going. I finally got some Terro, and it did the job.
I cut 2" square pieces of aluminum foil, and put them where I find ants. Then I squeeze a few drops of Terro on the foil. Don't put it on the foil and THEN try to position the foil square--it drips. It does not work particularly fast, since ants carry it back to their nests, and the whole colony dines on it and croaks. I've seen as many as 10 ants around the little pool of Terro, gorging themselves and returning again and again. In a few days, ants gone.
The stuff just works, and it doesn't contain a bunch of poisons you can't pronounce.

Summary: Tried the rest, but this is the BEST
Comment: I am a tech guy, so Terro -- which is essentially the same Boric Acid and sugar recipe my grandpa sold in his hardware store 75 years ago -- was about the **last** product I tried to control ants. Instead, over the years I have used every chemical bait system known to the FDA and then some. Of course, bait is the only way to go with ants; you never want to kill them directly because that will only increase their egg production and make the problem worse. Its total nest elimination, or else a worse problem a few weeks later.
Over the years, I have found some decent modern bait systems.
But this year, we were invaded by Argentine Ants. Literally thousands of these tiny eating machines appeared. I tried every ant bait I could find in home depot, menards and Lowes - to absolutely no effect. Interestingly, they actually ate roach bait I had and they loved it (but no effect from that either).
Finally, I bought Terro which was quite literally the last product available from the big box retailers that I had not tried: what chance did Boric Acid have where Avermectin, Dinotefuran, and N-Methyl-N'-Nitro-N-Tetrahydro-3-Furanyl-Methyl-Guanidine all failed??
I set 5 drops spread on the windowsill of the window where I saw the most ants. In 15 minutes, thousands of ants were swarming the drops. They fed all day and all night 24x7 (have to hand it to the Argentine Ant - they are truly amazing creatures). I had to replenish the drops which were gone after about 5 hours! The feeding kept up for 2 days, and then I noticed a sharp dropoff in the number of ants and a lot of dead ants. A day after that, no ants.
Moral? Don't be fooled by thinking modern science can hold a candle to this stuff. If you have sugar eating (Sweet) ants of any kind, get this stuff.
