What is used in ant poison?

Ant poisons commonly contain active ingredients such as boric acid, which disrupts the ants' digestive systems, or insecticides like hydramethylnon and fipronil that target their nervous systems. Some baits also use sugar or protein to attract ants while delivering these toxic substances. Additionally, diatomaceous earth may be included, which damages the ants' exoskeletons and leads to dehydration.
