This is the recommended 1:8 ratio. Good recipe. I use brown or raw sugar out of habit but anything works.

The recipe is fine though raw sugar works just as well...as someone who has returned to Whangarei and the rural area of Oakleigh from the cold of Christchurch I've become re-acquainted with ants, ticks and of course leeches. Regarding ants some natural and effective deterrents - grow pennyroyal mint at the base of your tree or bird post and throughout the garden. Peppermint is also useful. Alternatively you can spray tea tree oil, peppermint oil 10 drops to 1 litre of warm water around the base of whatever upright you are using.

I've read through the comments, and it looks like a number of people need to check their maths and source of information. 1 metric cup of white sugar to 2 litres of water is the recommended ratio of 1 part sugar to 8 parts water (1:8).I can confirm this mix works extremely well and no unwanted beasties.
