I've used something similar. Mix Borax and sugar into water. Dip cotton balls in water. Put cotton balls near the collective. Dead ants in 2-3 days.
We had a massive ant infestation after bringing back some kind of ant with our camping supply from BC last year. We put out 4 cotton balls in the house along the line the ants were walking. They were dead in less than a day.
Nice.
