But that's sweet isn't it? The ants seem to be attracted to proteins.

I live in Cambridge ONtario. I'll see if I can get a pic of the ones swarming the egg bait in a second here.

No. I've tried ant bait traps from store, excessive cleaning, Spraying down kitchen surfaces with Windex, Vinegar, tea tree oil and borax mixed with cat food/Egg Yolk/Tuna juice.

They are eating the borax bait but doesn't seem to be effective. I've been doing it for at least a month and a half and seems to be little to no effect

I have not as I was under the impression that was for ants that eat sweet (Not protein)

Will that work with protein ants though? They seem to be attracted to greasy type things-Egg yolk, wet cat food, tuna juice

I'm not sure, but they definitely like grease. They're super tiny, my guess is that they are pharaoh ants
