This causes their tiny, little thoraces to burst, effectively killing each ant that flocks to the jelly.
All that remains to be done is to sweep or mop up the remnants.

I get ants in my basement every summer, and this is much more effective than the store bought traps.
Another similar way to kill ants is to put about a centimeter of orange juice into a shallow cup and just leave it lying around. The ants go in, can't come out.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
