You need to mix it with water, bring it to a boil and then let it cool. It will create a syrup that they can eat. They will bring it back to the nests and pass it around. The Boric acid is what poisions them. they will stream to it for a while and then you won't see them any more. Make sure to leave a little trail for them to find the tray.
