Most ants are sweet eaters. For those that prefer proteins there are "dual choice" baits that have both & work on many more species if you are unsure what you have . The components of the bait are not terribly important as long as they will feed. What is more important is the active not kill them too quickly, so they make it back home or defeats the purpose. Many times I have found ant drowned in a liquid bait that killed too quickly & of course ants never went away since none of the bait made it back.
