You inspired me. I will try rhubarb this year. And I like the cornmeal idea. I have the little red fire ants they are terrible. When I'm working with my plants or pulling weeds they get in my gloves. I usually don't see them till they start biting. I hope the cornmeal will work. They hurt when the bite. I itch for days. Thanks for this great idea.

Patti I first learned about the corn meal cure for ants when we battled fire ants! It will definitely free you from their invasion! Look for the mounds or just anywhere you see a number of them. Yes they sting!! They all start at the same time AFTER many have gotten on you. I don't know how they know when to all "fire" at once, but they do. Rhubarb is easy to grow and GREAT source of vitamins etc. YES the corn meal works!
